Episode 148: The Crimes of Sophie Hartman

CW: This episode discusses medical child abuse.  If you're familiar with the Gypsy Rose Blanchard case, this will sound sadly familiar.  The crimes of Sophie Hartman thankfully did not go on nearly as long, but still inflicted years of pain on a little girl Hartman had adopted.   Sources https://www.fox13seattle.com/news/renton-mom-accused-of-medical-child-abuse-sues https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/washington/wawdce/2:2024cv00554/334078/58/ https://www.amazon.com/Crowns-Beauty-Brokenness-Courage-Rising/dp/1512739308 https://www.fox13seattle.com/news/renton-mother-accused-of-medical-child-abuse-against-adopted-6-year-old https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNbMDYyMPKg https://www.foxnews.com/us/washington-woman-who-lost-custody-adoptive-daughter-due-medical-abuse-claims-sues-hospital https://komonews.com/news/local/charge-renton-mom-subjected-healthy-daughter-to-450-unnecessary-medical-procedures?photo=1 https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/washington-daughter-surgeries-sophie-hartman-b1857302.html https://people.com/crime/wash-mom-charged-with-child-abuse-for-forcing-medically-unnecessary-treatment-on-adopted-6-year-old-girl/ https://nypost.com/2021/05/30/white-woman-accused-of-forcing-surgery-treatments-on-black-daughter/ https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/take-5/renton-family-fighting-daughters-rare-incurable-disorder/281-a5248875-82b8-488c-b458-b14bddc7f8c3 https://www.scribd.com/document/509421855/Sophie-Hartman-charging-documents
