Arkansas woman charged for faking adopted son’s mystery illness

An Arkansas woman has been charged after she allegedly lied to doctors about her adoptive son suffering from a mysterious illness — and even arranged for him to get end-of-life care, according to a report.

Kristy Schneider, of Alexander, turned herself in Tuesday on a charge of endangering the welfare of a minor, news station KATV reported. Schneider and her husband, Erik, lost custody of their adoptive son, Louie, in 2019 after a court heard that she had misrepresented to doctors his medical condition.
