摘要：Medical child abuse, known by many different names, including the often-misunderstood Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSBP), involves a young person receiving unneeded or harmful care brought about by a parent or other guardian. Offenders—usually the mother—fabricate or exaggerate the child’s medical history, induce an illness, or combine these acts.1 Victims suffer a mortality rate of between 6 and 9 percent.
