“The News Sentinel cannot establish that Schmitt-Matzen’s account is inaccurate, but more importantly, ongoing reporting cannot establish that it is accurate,” the note reads. “Therefore, because the story does not meet the newspaper’s standards of verification, we are no longer standing by the veracity of Schmitt-Matzen’s account.”

Hospitals near Schmitt-Matzen’s home and workplace in Jacksboro, in suburban Knoxville, said they had no record of the events described in the News Sentinel’s column and accompanying videos.
“We know for certain that it did not happen at our hospital,” said Erica Estep, public-relations manager at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital. She said the hospital checked its mortality data for the entirety of 2016 and had no records of a 5-year-old child dying under any circumstances.

Not 100% debunked but both papers can't verify the story other than the guy is claiming it happened. Story doesn't check out at local hospitals.

What the fuck? You mean a story perfectly engineered to go viral and tug at people's heartstrings might be fake? Shit. I just don't know anything anymore.
