Gypsy Rose Blanchard

And she put the E at the end because to avoid him finding us.

So I don't know what they told her, if they're like, okay, fine, to get it straightened out, I don't know.

But in the other room where I was being questioned, they were asking me, is there bruises on your body?

Can I look at your arms?

Can I look at your legs?

So I showed them my arms, I showed them my legs.

And I was terrified of being taken away from my mom because my mom raised me to believe that

child services, the state, as she would call it, is evil, is bad people.

And so I was terrified to be taken away from my mom because at that time, yes, a lot of abuse was going on, but I also loved my mom very much.

And they were asking me questions that didn't pertain to Munchausen by proxy.

There wasn't physical hitting, there wasn't punching, there wasn't physical abuse.

So I didn't think to say I could walk because they were asking the wrong questions.

And I'm not not blaming them like all this is their fault.

I'm just saying I think that, you know, in situations like this, Munchausen by proxy should have been looked at.

If you see a child supposedly with all these medical issues, you have a doctor that writes in his notes, you know, suspicion of Munchausen by proxy.

Why aren't you asking those questions?

The right questions instead of asking me if I bruises, you know.

I probably would have been so innocent and probably just told them the truth.

Like, yes, I could walk.

Not knowing, because I didn't know what Munchausen by proxy was.
