GOFUNDME PROBLEMS ACCOUNT ON HOLD , $58 K LEFT HANGING!!!

There's a big hiccup in online fundraising efforts for Keaton Jones -- one GoFundMe page has been shut down altogether , and another's on hold with nearly $60 , 000 unspoken for .

GoFundMe tells us the page labeled " Stand Up for Keaton , " which was opened 2 days ago, is no longer accepting donations . Since Keaton ' s anti -bullying message went viral over the weekend, the page has pulled in $ 58, 249 in donations . .. however the guy who started it is putting the charity on hold. GoFundMe says it needs to contact Keaton ' s mom,
Kimberly Jones , to ensure she' s the beneficiary ... since the guy who started the page doesn ' t know her.

So far , the company ' s been unable to reach her. There was a second GoFundMe page , purportedly started by Kimberly herself which solicited money for Keaton ' s Christmas gifts. Sources close to the situation tell us that was immediately shut down by GoFundMe due to fraud concerns -- namely , whether it was really started by Kimberly.

Further complicating the fundraising are social media postings from the real Kimberly Jones. As we reported . .. photos of her with the Confederate flag and comments about whining " butt hurt Americans " have sparked an online backlash.

The guy behind the "Stand Up for Keaton " page even reacted , saying, " THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE MOM !!" He added he doesn ' t know the Jones family , but just wanted to help a kid who ' s been bullied.
