According to a lawsuit filed against her, though, Bach wasn’t the medical practitioner she claimed to be — a misrepresentation that lead to the death of “hundreds of children,” ABC News reports.
According to ABC News, the organization works with local doctors and nurses. But according to a lawsuit filed earlier this year, Bach, too, claimed to be a doctor despite having no medical training — something that the suit says resulted in the deaths of “hundreds of children.” The second mother, Annet Kakai, tells a similar story: that in July 2018, an employee for Serving His Children convinced Kakai to let them take her 1-year-old son to the organization’s facility. Once there, she says a woman took her son into a room for an hour; then, at Serving His Children’s command, she brought her son back to the facility the next day.
Furthermore, another woman who once volunteered at Serving His Children said in an affidavit that when she asked Bach “what she based her treatments on, [Bach] stated she relied heavily on the book, Where There is No Doctor, as well as her ‘gut feelings.’ How has Bach responded? In an affidavit filed in March, Bach claimed that she “never represented [herself] or passed off as a medical professional,” insisting that she “never put on a clinical coat.” In short, she has vehemently denied all claims against her, and even went so far as to claim that Serving His Children never even treated Kakai’s child.
