Was she not mentally ill then?
There is some sort of illness where people make their kids ill to seek attention, sounded like one of those to me. |

Mentally ill yawwwnnn
36 months i think she got for keeping her son in a wheelchair for 7 years. Completly ruined the kids life, all for money. Now shes been caught she ' suddenly ' has a condition youve never heard of, has it seemed been invented by quacks in the last few years and that gets her off with a light sentance. A quick trip round the back - bang - unmarked grave - job done. |

Münchausen syndrome by proxy

Ahh yes good ol Münchausen syndrome by proxy, another illness that never existed years ago but suddenly is used whenever anybody does something evil. WHY does it have to be a mental illness? WHY can she not just be evil? One thing you are all forgetting, she wasn't making him ill to hurt him, she was making him ill so she could benefit in other ways very carefully planned, that took a lot of savvy and pulling off. She gets found out and suddenly shes a barmpot. |

I believe that the brain is a complex organ and as such a lot of things can happen to it. Evil, i'm not sure exists, same as God.

Can happen* meaning go wrong.

Munchausens by proxy is the actual mental illness I thought this thread was about not just 'another illness'. I was answering tobermory's post. Can't be 100% sure though as I've not read the story.

Münchausen syndrome was first described in 1951 as when someone invents or exaggerates medical symptoms, sometimes engaging in self-harm, to gain attention or sympathy.
In 1977, pediatrician Roy Meadow, then professor of pediatrics at the University of Leeds, England, described the extraordinary behavior of two mothers. According to Meadow, one had poisoned her toddler with excessive quantities of salt. The other had introduced her own blood into her baby's urine sample. He referred to this behavior as Münchausen syndrome by proxy (MSbP).[7] The medical community was initially skeptical of MSbP's existence, but it gradually gained acceptance as a recognized condition. |

from BBC news site - re Beverley Allitt
Allitt, who suffered from the personality disorder Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, killed four children and injured nine others between 1991 and 1993. She is serving 13 life sentences, and is being held at the top-security prison hospital Rampton in Nottinghamshire. People with Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy fake their own or others' illnesses in order to gain attention. |

Well i think people can be Evil - in that they are rational, know what harm they do, but have no conscience - but others really just have mental problems leading to compulsive behaviour of this sort.
Yes ty Brodie and Tev , that was what i was thinking of. I haven't read much about this case but sounds bizarre . |

May i offer my sincere apologies, this has really wound you up i know, perhaps someone in your family is perhaps doing something they shouldn't have and you now realise what a fool youve been all this time and it is the munchasen affect after all. If that is the case then i'm glad you are now enlightened. Considering mankind and some of the greatest minds that have ever lived in both medical and normal science have been on this earth a lot longer than 59 years why is it only just been found? Surely doctors and sceintists were clever enough to have sussed this out well before 1951? |

That's it, there's no point trying to do any more research into science. Anything worth discovering has already been found by the great minds years ago :)
