A video is being shared over and over again on Facebook at the moment. To see two boys becoming a cat from the roof. Including the following status article “Leisure employment in refugee accommodation (Türkiye)”
Information: The children's actions are abhorrent and can be trivialized in the smallest possible way. But this is not the main point. It's about the user's claim that this act was described as a "leisure activity" by "refugees". And since the video was published in this context, it is fake.

It is also clear that this statement is causing a stir on Facebook. A friend of the creator commented this:
By the way, dear creator! It is called refugee accommodation and not refugee accommodation. But this is only marginal.
You can also see it in the status post that has already been edited:
First it was a “refugee accommodation”, then it was a “refugee accommodation” in Turkey” and finally a “refugee accommodation” in Turkey including a link to the video on YouTube”
What can be seen in the video or why and where did it happen?
This is a kind of test of courage between two children. The boy gets 16,000 Lebanese pounds (about $10) if he dares to throw the cat off the roof.
The whole thing happened in Lebanon at the beginning of September 2015 and not in a refugee camp or in Turkey or anywhere else.
What motivates Facebook users to keep spreading such false reports?
