On January 18, Alt News received several requests to verify a video of a man sliting a minor\u2019s throat, shared on social media with child-lifting rumours. This is the third year that rumours of child kidnappers on the prowl are circulating online. In 2018, these false messages had led to more than 70 mob attacks and 33 deaths. Alt News has debunked multiple photos<\/a> and videos<\/a> falsely shared as child-kidnapping.<\/p>\n

We have not embedded the video in this report owing to its graphic nature. The screenshots below show the first few frames of the video.<\/p>\n
