[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 421178, member: 1550"] I know what Manchusen's is and was so interested in it I've read several books about it. Actually, though, I've never read any studies about people trying to make their normal children seem mentally ill. I believe the nurturing part and kudos are for those who are helping an obviously physically sick child (only they aren't REALLY helping the child) to get attention. They usually have Manshusen's themselves then spread the joy to their kids. I've read a few books where parents actually murdered their infants for sympathy...over and over again...you'd think the doctors would catch on, but they are, after all, doctors and were looking for hereditary issues, not murderers. I truly don't think we have people here who are doing this. Most of us are talking about behavioral issues...and getting absolutely ZILCH sympathy lol. But it's an interesting thought. [/QUOTE]
