Munchausen syndrome by proxy

Read a random definition: International Criminal Police Organization

A quick definition of Munchausen syndrome by proxy:

Munchausen syndrome by proxy is when a caregiver, usually a parent, makes up or causes a child's medical condition and takes them to the doctor for treatment. This is a type of child abuse because the child is often subjected to many medical tests and treatments that they don't need. The parent does this because they want attention and feel emotionally deprived.

A more thorough explanation:

Munchausen syndrome by proxy is a type of child abuse where a caregiver, usually a parent, makes up or causes a child's medical condition and seeks medical treatment for the child based on the fabricated or induced condition. This is done to get attention from medical professionals and others.

  • A mother intentionally poisons her child to make them appear sick and takes them to the hospital for treatment.
  • A father injects his child with bacteria to cause an infection and seeks medical treatment for the child.

These examples illustrate how a caregiver can intentionally harm a child to make them appear sick and seek medical attention. This can lead to unnecessary medical procedures and treatments, causing harm to the child.
