A California mother-of-three is being investigated for a possible hate crime over a video in which she claimed a Latino couple made a kidnapping attempt on her children.
Katie Sorensen posted two videos to her account @motherhoodessentials in which she claimed son, four, and daughter, one, were the targets of attempted kidnap in a Michael s store in Petaluma on December 7.
Sorensen drove to the police station to report the couple s actions and press charges before uploading the videos, which gained her more than 80,000 followers.
After the couple came forward, Petaluma police cleared Sadie and Eddie Martinez of any wrongdoing on Thursday and launched a new investigation into whether the crime was falsely reported or if her social media posts constitute a hate crime.
