A photograph of an elderly woman on a bed holding her great-granddaughter in her arms has been falsely shared online as an image showing a 101-year-old with her 17th baby. A Facebook post that reads, “101-year-old woman suddenly welcomed her 17th child” appears to have been taken seriously (here). The Huffington Post reported on March 31, 2015, that the photograph showed a 101-year-old grandmother, Rosa Camfield, holding her two-week old great-granddaughter, Kaylee Rowland. Image does not show a 101-year-old woman with her 17th child, it is her great-granddaughter. This article was produced by the Reuters Fact Check team.
