This is a real report

This is fake news

It is impossible to know if this is real or fake

Everything posted to social media is usually false

Northern Ireland is known to be a country full of scammers

The name of the account that posted the image is "Buy and Sell Northern Ireland"

The image is fake

The post is full of spelling errors

The post is too detailed

The post first refers to the missing child as "Shelly" and then at the end of the post it refers to her as "Sarah"

The post includes personal information that a parent would usually not post to social media
