  I’d be willing to bet that it’s fake.

    Why? Carol doesn’t sound like a strange name and I know people with schizophrenia, if that happened to them they would surely be, at best, problematic.

      The whole thing has a stink to it. Obviously I can’t be 100% certain, but whenever a story like that on reddit sounds a little too perfect, it’s probably made up.

      Having more typos in the title than in the post is a hint.

      It’s also just exactly the sort of thing that people will run away with on the internet. It’s hitting a hot button topic about something that people started seeing in memes a couple weeks ago.

      Plus it’s too smooth. If the intention was to relay an event that actually happened, there’d be some kind of rough edge to it, something unexpected. But if the intention was to expand on that meme in an easily digestible way, this is what you’d get.

      It’s not the most obviously fake post I’ve seen on reddit, and it’s possible I’m wrong. But like I said, I’d be willing bet on it.
