Texas parent uses her child as a means to chase clout

I saw a picture of the child, but not the mom. The mom posted her story on Facebook. The news website noticed and wanted to share the story.

Though Davenee didn’t want the spotlight, Debbie wanted to share her daughter’s story on social media. The Levelland community took notice and was touched by her act of kindness.

I don't see anything wrong with this. I hope it will inspire others, even children, to perform acts of kindness.

It's just unrealistic and a very obviously dishonest way to frame the story. No child is going to come up with an idea like this on their own. A vague notion of wanting to help the homeless maybe, but not hey mom lets use my allowance to buy these specific items to put in goodie bags that we can then distribute to all the homeless and lets make an announcement video for social media where I read this script I wrote that says "I just wanted to do something from my heart".

Are you upset about this? What harm was done?
