UNDATED (AP) – An Arkansas boy received unneeded medical procedures and drugs based on lies his parents told doctors and charities about his health to get donations, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday by the state attorney general.
Attorney General Leslie Rutledge filed the lawsuit seeking to recover funds Kristy Beth Schneider and Erik Schneider received from charities to help with the care of their adopted son, who was taken into state custody in 2019. Kristy Beth Schneider also faces a felony charge of endangering the welfare of a minor.
“Essentially Kristy and Erik Schneider falsified their child’s health conditions to receive more than $31,000 in charitable donations and contributions from Arkansans” from about 2017 to 2019, Rutledge said.
