## Why Readers Should Verify Emotional Viral Stories
Stories involving young mothers, multiple births, and sudden tragedy often spread quickly because they touch on powerful emotions.
Unfortunately, some online posts provide only a few dramatic words followed by "See more," without identifying the people involved, the location, the date, or the original source.
Other posts may combine real photographs with inaccurate descriptions or repeat an old story as though it happened recently.
Before sharing such a claim, readers should look for a complete report from a reputable news organization or a reliable statement from an appropriate source.
They should also consider whether the article provides enough evidence to support its claims.
A photograph of a mother holding newborns cannot establish what happened the following day. A dramatic caption does not prove that a death occurred, and an incomplete sentence cannot establish the cause of a medical emergency.
