We also came across a video which used the same picture with a voice-over.
The narration in the video says: “The woman had given birth to 16 children after which she was diagnosed with cancer and now she has delivered her 17th kid.”
FACT CHECK
When NewsMobile fact-checked the above picture, we found that claims attached to it to be false.
On putting the picture through a Reverse Image Search, we came across a report by ABC News dated March 31, 2015, which had the same picture. According to the report, the woman in the picture is 101-year old Rosa Camfield, holding her great-granddaughter Kaylee, and not her own child as claimed.
According to the ABC report, Camfield passed away in 2015 and the picture was taken by her granddaughter Sarah Hamm.
Hence, the above information proves that the claim that she gave birth to a child at the age of 101 is misleading.
