One year out of her parent’s care and she’s in a wheel chair. The Boston Children’s Hospital put her in that wheel chair, not her parents. That’s the exact opposite of what happens with Munchausen syndrome.

As I have pointed out in other posts, a child victim of Munchausen by proxy can learn to very convincingly fake symptoms--including the need for a wheelchair.

Also, what supposedly landed her in the hospital was the flu. Influenza can cause neurological damage, a condition called "Guillain-Barre syndrome" that leaves its victims physically incapacitated.

The fact that she was well enough to be sent into foster care suggests that her physical condition *is* improving.

I continue to maintain that we do not have enough information to judge what is really going on in this case. I reserve judgment until I know more facts on *both* sides of the issue.
