Children with cancer scammed out of millions fundraised for their treatment, BBC finds | BBC News


A fundraising campaign raised $27,000 in the name of seven-year-old Khalil, who had cancer. However, he did not receive the money for his treatment. The family was told that the campaign had failed.

BBC have identified 15 families who say they got little to nothing of the funds raised and often had no idea the campaigns had even been published, despite undergoing harrowing filming.
