Several information portals with content in Albanian have shared on their Facebook social media pages an article titled "Tragic! "Model" mother commits macabre act against her 6-month-old baby.
After verifying the facts, hibrid.info has confirmed that the title of this article is generalizing, as it does not clarify in which country the event occurred, implying that the event occurred in an Albanian-speaking country.
The news is clarified only in the content, more precisely in the heading of the article, where it says "A macabre event has occurred in neighboring Greece, where an elderly couple showed up at the hospital with their lifeless 6-month-old grandson, after he was raped to death by his mother.

To further confirm the fact that this event took place in Greece, hibrid.info has found an article about the same event published by a Greek media outlet, which states that this occurred in the city of Veria, Greece. (see here)
Analyze:
Several Albanian-language news portals have published articles regarding the death of a child as a result of rape by its mother, without clarifying in the title where the incident occurred.
Failure to provide information about the location of the incident leaves room for the misunderstanding that the event occurred in an Albanian-speaking area.
Based on its work methodology, hibrid.info considers this article to be "clickbait".
Reasoning:
The “Clickbait” rating is given to texts whose titles have no basis in the content of the following text. Such texts and articles aim to attract the attention of the reader or even the consumer with a sensational title by promising content that does not actually exist and are created mainly out of financial interest, that is, due to increased readability. So, this type of text is intended only to click, which can be converted into a profit for the content producer.
