Viral Facebook posts claiming a young boy was found alone at night by a police officer in either Hereford or King’s Lynn have been confirmed as false.

The posts, shared in large community groups, include images of a bruised child and claim he was rescued by “Deputy Tyler Cooper.” They urge people to “flood feeds” to help find the child’s family.
