A Florida mother was recently arrested for allegedly lying about a burglar stealing Christmas gifts for her kids. After the community came together and donated several gifts, the Lee County Sheriff's Office got a tip stating the original gifts were never stolen and were actually hidden at her relative's house. They sent The Grinch to help take her into custody - then posted the video on social media.
A local Tampa Bay Area organization is spreading Christmas cheer. "Everybody needs a little help sometimes," said Brianna Beyer, Realty Partners. "And I think it is really important to give back to the community and those less fortunate to give them hope, so that one day they will be the ones to help a family less fortunate."
After 12 years of collecting toys to give as holiday gifts to Boston children, a mall security captain said donations are down significantly so far this year.
