A mother’s heart dropped when she saw her baby girl supposedly up for adoption on TikTok. Ty Lawrence, who shared her shocking story across social media, sprang into action. She asked others to report the scam account on Nov. 9. The account owner has since taken the page down. Orphanage Adoption Services, which used the TikTok handle @genuineadoptionservices, posted a photo of Lawrence’s daughter that she says the account stole from one of her public social media profiles. “There’s people asking how they can get her and start ‘paperwork’ and HOW MUCH she is,” she wrote in a public warning. She added, “Lesson learned about posting my kid on social media.” Lawrence is hardly the first parent to share her child’s photo on a public-facing social media account. But her story serves as a reminder of just how easy it is for scammers and predators to steal images and use them for nefarious purposes.
