here's your latest african news
white american woman charged with
medical child abuse of our african
adopted daughter
a white mother has been charged with
faking her zambian adopted daughter's
illness
and subjecting the child to 500
unnecessary treatments including several
invasive surgeries
sofia hutsman 31 claimed her
six-year-old daughter suffered a rare
neurological disorder
known as alternating hemoplagia of
childhood
authorities in seattle washington say
hutsman has subjected her daughter who
was adapted from zambia as an infant to
a necessary medical procedure since she
was two years old
the girl was forced to wear leg braces
use a wheelchair and was fed through a
surgical implanted feeding tube
she also had a tube implanted in the
intestines to help her go to the
bathroom according to court documents
hartman was charged this week with one
count of second-degree assault against a
child
and one count of attempted domestic
violence assault against a child
according to hudson's social media
account she worked as a missionary in
africa and adopted two daughters from
zambia she also attended a bible college
in washington
state and claims to be deeply religious
according to documents specialists at
the hospital request a consultation
after becoming concerned hutsmann was
asking for increasingly invasive
procedures for the little girl
the doctors noted that they believed she
was at a profound risk
as a result the girl was removed from
her mother's care in march and placed
under observation at the children's
hospital for 16 days
doctors state that during the period the
girl was able to drink fluids on her own
go to the bathroom and run and walk
without the use of any braces
or wheelchair hutsman's goal for
exploiting the african girl was monetary
and for fame
after adopting the two siblings from
zambia hutzman wrote the wave of
self-generated publicity that started
with a book where she wrote about her
missionary work in that african nation
that led to her adoption a gofundme
campaign collected pledges
of fifteen thousand six hundred and
sixty one dollars towards a wheelchair
another fundraiser by hudson's church
rates thirty thousand
five hundred and eighty seven dollars a
social media page and various
fundraisers were set up for the girl
over the years
and she was even granted a wish in 2019
by the make-a-wish foundation
based on her diagnosis speaking about
her daughter in a video for the
make-a-wish foundation
hushman say that she has been diagnosed
with a disease that means at any given
time
she could go paralyzed which as we all
know was a lie to manipulate people to
giving her money
this inhumane act is just part of a
larger trend of the white savior's
mentality made popular by the american
celebrities where white missionaries
come to africa to save us but end up
only exploiting innocent african
children for financial gain
media publicity or social media fame
as a result of numerous cases of these
evil acts some
african countries like ethiopia have
instituted a total ban on foreign
adoptions
while other countries like rwanda
closely monitor the activities of
missionaries
in the country even recently deporting
an american pastor
let us know what you feel about
foreigners adopting african children and
should more african countries follow the
likes of ethiopia and rwanda in
regulating the activities of these
so-called missionaries
