The parents of a Florida teenager were arrested after the authorities reportedly determined that the couple raised money for the boy’s supposed cancer treatment even though he had never been diagnosed with the disease.

According to the Dixie County Sheriff’s Office, the parents allegedly told people in their Old Town community that their teenage son had cancer affecting several internal organs and needed financial help to cover medical care. They reportedly organized multiple local fundraisers and also created an online campaign through GoFundMe.

Reports indicated that the situation began in December 2024 when the couple brought their then-15-year-old son to a doctor after he experienced weight loss and other health concerns. Investigators later determined that while the teenager did have legitimate medical issues, he had never been diagnosed with cancer.
