How does social media interact with this sort of thing?

You would think this is gasoline on the fire, right?

Because you get a ton of sympathy online.

People are already addicted to social media, right?

Getting likes or like support and comments on a photo.

So imagine if it's your Munchausen and you're like, my baby's in the ER again, like photo of child with tubes everywhere.

And also, I would imagine if I'm a con artist, which is essentially kind of what these people are, like half con artist, half abuser, right?

It's like kind of a blend of those things.

I'm looking at like...

support groups on Facebook and Wikipedia.

And like for the bad actor, there's like a training course basically online for what to look for, the symptoms, people's experiences at the hospital with doctors.

An abuser, con artist, whatever, could just reverse engineer a lot of that and then feed their addiction, whatever this is.

This stuff is dark.

Jeez.
