artie: So Botty, what is the actual story here?
 Does a viral video show a child trafficker caught while driving a sedan with 25 children in Uzbekistan?
botty: No, that's not true: According to local law enforcement and local news reports, the reason for the traffic stop was unsafe driving, not a suspicion of kidnapping, child enslavement or involvement in some black market medical deals.
artiefast: Aha!
botty: An academician with knowledge of the region and appropriate language skills confirmed to Lead Stories that the footage did not discuss child trafficking.
artiefast: "Remember folks, before sharing shocking videos, make sure to verify the facts and context. Let's not contribute to the spread of misinformation."

artie: I guess I could Google this, but I might as well ask you. Was an unidentified young woman robbed, stabbed, and left for dead by the side of the road, and will sharing a post on social media help to identify her?
botty: No, that's not true: This post is a fabrication designed to trick people to share the post within their local community.
artiefast: That's good context.
botty: The photo, which appeared in several news articles, actually shows a young woman who survived a serious car accident on May 22, 2016, in Utah. The woman was identified by name in news reports about the accident.

artie: That's all folks!
botty: Please like, share and follow!
