” delves into the accusations of Sorensen, who lived in Sonoma when she was charged last year with falsely claiming her children were the target of a kidnapping attempt. Sorensen went viral in December when she posted a series of videos on her now-private Instagram @motherhoodessentials.
She claimed on Dec. 7, 2020, she took her two small children to the Michaels craft store in Petaluma. While in the store, she alleged a man and woman began to follow her, “talking about the features of my children.” Sorensen said the couple didn’t buy anything, but followed her out to the parking lot. She accused them of taking “two steps forward, two steps back” before lunging for her stroller.
But in short order, Petaluma police cleared the couple, Sadie and Eddie Martinez, of any wrongdoing. The Petaluma Police Department issued a statement indicating Sorensen’s story had “inconsistencies.” The Martinez family spoke to Elle about how the accusation roiled their lives, making them feel uncomfortable while out in public.
