Fraudsters Exploit Racist Playground Incident Involving Black Boy to Steal $340,000 Raised by NAACP

A Minnesota NAACP chapter reported that several individuals have fraudulently claimed to be beneficiaries of over $340,000 raised for the family of a Black child subjected to racial slurs at a park. The campaign was initiated after Shiloh Hendrix's offensive outburst went viral, prompting donations. Multiple families later emerged, but investigations revealed none were linked to the victim. The NAACP stressed funds would only aid the verified family. Meanwhile, Hendrix has launched her own fundraiser, raising over $770,000 amid backlash for exploiting this tragic incident.
