Holy Cow! I have heard about this man! He lives about 15 miles from my home! How terrible...I have heard of other stories that involve parents faking illnesses for thier children, one that comes to mind is a mother who said that her daughter had leukemia, even shaved her hair to look like she had chemo. It was on the natiional news awhile back. She even convinced her daughter that she was really ill. A teacher finally suspected otherwise when she noticed that her pupil had stubbly hair, like it was shaven and reported the mom to the authorities. These people make me want to puke....yes, it is Munchausen's by proxy if they do this to another, if it is themselves, it is Munchausen's. As a nurse, I have seen Munchausen's but not by proxy. It is sickening and sad. I hope he gets the max.
