Kelly said she originally mentioned that she was the mother of the kids because she considers herself to be like a mom to them.

According to a report by CNN, the children's real mother was identified as Shadia Hilo, and their father David Allison.

It also emerged that the kid's father, Allison, was also Kelly's boyfriend.

GoFundMe to hold on to the cash

The cash donations from well-wishers came in through GoFundMe, but the platform has said that it will hold on to the donations until the information is verified.

Both Hilo, the girl's mother, and Kelly told CNN that the girls would be returning to Hilo's home for the start of the school year.

YEN.com.gh earlier reported that a young woman with tears in her eyes, took to her Twitter account to share how her babysitter killed her 8-months-old son, as she placed him in the bathtub and slept off.

The mother of the baby, who was identified as @desslorraine on Twitter, posted a collage picture of her late baby boy with the caption:

“My sons babysitter left him unattended in the bathtub and passed. You will never be forgotten. May your beautiful soul Rest In Peace.”
