This season on Nobody Should Believe Me,
we're covering a story that happened right in my own backyard.
There is a family in Renton that I want to introduce you to.
Mom, Sophie, went on an inspiring trip to Zambia in her college year.
She's since adopted two girls.
One of them has an incredibly rare disorder. Doctors say it's a one in a million chance.
Sophie Hartman's family was in the spotlight in 2019 as she fundraised on behalf of her supposedly sick child. But in the spring of 2021, it all came crashing down.
So this is Detective Orworth with the Renson Police Department. Can you just state your name for me? Sophie Hartman.
In 2019, King 5 first met Sophie Hartman after she adopted two sisters from Zambia. She told us one has a rare neurological disorder called alternating hemiplegia of childhood, or AHC.
Today, she faces second degree assault charges against a child, her own daughter. If she wasn't guilty of these allegations, how horrific.
I mean, she seems like a saint. Supposedly, has this very rare, progressive disease.
But from my observations, she's like the healthiest kid I've ever seen in my life. Would it surprise you if I told you that AHC is not a terminal disease? Yes, it would.
And we at Haven Church got the opportunity to support her and hold her up with our prayers and doing whatever we could to help her to get through that situation. She allegedly had this journal entry that talked about how she had an issue with lying.
Every time I go in, like, to the doctor, she wouldn't be exhibiting those symptoms. I'm like, I know this sounds crazy, but I'm not making this up.
This is not, this is not. Yeah, well, you're the mom.
Yeah. Did you ever witness having what Sophie calls one of her episodes? I did not.
I think that all of the signs and symptoms are here for that.
It's obviously a concern that she's pushing this child towards death.
