On December 7th of 2020, at the height of covid, while everyone's nerve were shot, Katie Sorensen, a mother to 3 young children, posted a warning to her blog.

According to Katie, while on a trip out to Michaels Craft Store, with her two youngest children, a 4 year old boy and a 1 year old girl.  They had narrowly avoided the unthinkable, what Katie perceived to be an attempted child abduction.

On her way home from the craft store, Clearly rattled, Katie called the Petaluma PD, and filed a report.  And on her blog a few days later, Katie uploaded a warning to other parents. 

On it, Katie lists the reasons that she felt as though, she and her children were at risk.

Days after the incident, police would release a picture of the suspects that they had from the security footage.

After seeing themselves, with the warning that they were wanted for questioning in an attempted child abduction, you can only imagine the surprise felt by Sadie and Eddie Martinez.  And the couple turned themselves in right away.  According to Sadie and Eddie, they were only in the store so that they could purchase a new baby Jesus for their nativity scene.

Was this the story of a mother who was genuinely scared for the well being, and felt that she was under a threat, or was this someone looking to gain followers for her mommy blog, and things got terribly out of hand.  Let us know what you think!
