[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Munchausen by Proxy is very rare, but it is absolutely missed in some families, and incorrectly diagnosed in others. They only real way to diagnose it is to either have a credible witness who has seen the parent doing harm to the child, or having a hidden camera in a hospital room to catch the parent in the act. Although I'm no expert, I also believe there's a gray area there where a parent will diagnose their own child and apply a heavy treatment (say a severe dietary restriction) which is not specifically harmful to the child's health but is emotionally and socially damaging. The parent will then spend a huge amount of time and energy being an activist for the child's "condition". This one is kind of hard to single out as a criminal act but it's definitely bad for the child.[/quote] This. [/quote]
