The story of two mothers who wrote to each other about their children's birthdays made waves all over the web. The story prompted a stormy discussion about the credibility of social networks vis-à-vis the media.
The mother claimed that she wanted to keep the girl's privacy, and welfare officials who spoke with her said that she even gave fake names. Shani Shukron, who published the original post and the correspondence between the mothers, said that all the mother asked for was to go to the free supermarket run by the association.
