Overview

  • Lead Stories’ Romanian team reported only positive local coverage of Every Day Heroes Like You and its Romanian Angels program after reviewing court records and news archives.
  • Investigators found no cases on Romania’s national justice portal tied to Erika Kirk, her maiden name, or the Antonio Placement Center in Constanța.
  • The program’s documented activity centered on holiday gift drives for orphans, with presents delivered by U.S. military personnel, not international adoptions.
  • Times Now, Hindustan Times, Mint, and other outlets reported no confirmations from Romanian authorities or the U.S. State Department of wrongdoing or travel restrictions.
  • The unverified claims spread on social platforms after Charlie Kirk’s death and Erika Kirk’s elevation to CEO of Turning Point USA, including misused references to an unrelated 2001 Haaretz article.
