Here’s an article from BlogHer with an interview with Tertia Loebenberg Albertyn from So Close about the whole “Eli” mess.

A quote from Tertia in the article:

But when I read about the fundraising efforts and all the outpouring of love and sympathy for the little boy who had cancer, I got angry. Really angry. Because stealing my kids images and pretending that my kids belong to someone else is one thing, but playing on the emotions of thousands of people is totally unacceptable. That made me furious. Childhood cancer is my biggest fear. To trivialize it in that way, to use it as a hoax sickened me. I wanted to stop that straight away.
