Viral Flyer Falsely Claims Child Missing
24 Nov
Summary
- A viral flyer falsely claimed a 10-year-old was missing.
- The family confirmed the child is safe and the post is fake.
- The flyer listed a police number belonging to a different state.

A fabricated digital flyer has been circulating online, falsely claiming that 10-year-old Bechnir Dupree, known from 'Baylen Out Loud,' has been missing since Saturday. This rumor has been officially debunked by the Dupree family.
Bechnir's mother, Julie, confirmed that her son is safe and at home, emphasizing that the viral post is a fake and has no association with the family. Further investigation revealed a significant inconsistency: the phone number provided on the flyer for the 'Virginia Police Department' was traced to a police department located in Washington state, not Virginia where the family lives.
Bechnir is recognized for his appearances on 'Baylen Out Loud,' a show documenting his sister's experiences with Tourette's Syndrome. The online misinformation highlights the dangers of unverified social media content, as the child in question is confirmed to be well.
