Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) publishes daily vetted fact checks from verified IFCN-approved sources. Each claim is independently reviewed for accuracy and context.
Claimant: Social Media
Claim: A graphic showing “Parental Child Homicides by Gender of Perpetrator” is based on a real 2016 paper by “Ribaux, L., et al.”
Rating: BLATANT LIE
Explanation: The cited study does not exist in the journal issue named in the graphic. No article by Ribaux or paper matching the cited title or subject was found, meaning the graphic relies on a fabricated academic source.
