Typical Obama Behavior

A Pennsylvania couple who reportedly set up a GoFundMe page
asking for donations in the wake of their newborn sons death
are now being accused by police of faking the childs entire
existence as part of a ruse to collect cash and gifts from their
friends, family and community.
Geoffrey and Kaycee Lang, of Friedens, were hit with misdemeanor
theft charges in Westmoreland and Somerset counties this week
after police searched their home and found a doll that resembled
the infant seen in photos the couple says was of their son,
Easton, WTAE reported, citing court documents.
I dont know what their motive was to hurt your family and
everybody? Its just sick, Cynthia Dilascio, a friend who
organized a baby shower for the couple in May and later reported
them to police, told the station.
Photographs of the couple showed them opening gifts at the
shower, but Dilascio says Kaycee, 23, vanished around seven
months into her pregnancy, claiming she was on bed rest.
Court documents viewed by WTAE say the couple then claimed
Easton died on July 3 from respiratory distress syndrome shortly
after being born at Conemaugh Health System in Johnstown, yet
police couldnt find any records of the mother or child at that
facility or coroners office.
Dilascio also said she called the funeral home where the couple
claimed the child was cremated only to be told there was no
account in the family's name.
I couldnt go. I knew that this was fake, she told WTAE when
asked about the memorial service that apparently was held for
Easton. I couldnt go and sit and watch this go on, and know
the truth.
A Facebook profile purportedly belonging to Geoffrey Lang then
posted a link on July 7 to a GoFundMe page set up for Easton.
Please keep my wife and I in your thoughts and prayer. Our son
Easton was born with fluid in his lungs and passed away a few
hours after he was born, the post read. We would greatly
appreciate if as many of you guys could share this and if u are
stable enough to do so is donate also to help pay for the
funeral expenses and medical bills.
An obituary also was published in Eastons name, claiming the
child weighed 7 lbs. 2 oz, and was 17 inches long.
Easton's parents were blessed with just a little over 5 hours
before he went to his heavenly home at 8:20 am, it read.
Easton experienced holding hands and hugs and kisses with his
mommy and daddy and being told uncountable number of I love
yous."
GoFundMe said the page raised 15 donations totaling $550 but
the site says those donations will now be returned.
"This type of behavior is not tolerated on GoFundMe, the
website said in a statement to WTAE. We will fully cooperate
with law enforcement officials during their investigation and we
will issue full refunds to all donors.
The couple is set to appear in court in October.
