You don't think this person doesn't seem to care about their kid.
That's freaking psycho.
He's the kid from your latest season.
That's interesting.
Yeah, the other red flag, that's a really big red flag in addition to the others, like doctor shopping, moving around, not accepting a diagnosis, aiming for a certain diagnosis.
One interesting anecdote was these women who had reported another woman to CPS, they were saying that in a Facebook group, one of the things she was doing, if someone posted about their sick kid, the perpetrator, the mother with Munchausen, she would post something like, my kid was even sick.
sicker his symptoms were even worse he was in the hospital even longer it's like a weird game of one-upmanship like a contest because of the attention and sympathy given to one mother they're like no no we can't have that that's for me i need that
Doesn't this mess with the science, though?
Because if you're like infiltrating a rare disease advocacy group and you're going to all the specialists and they're like, huh, usually people with this have this kind of thing in their blood, this rare case, this guy, he doesn't have it.
We got to add him to the sample size, and then it's just screwing up all of the science.
You're polluting the sample pool.
Doesn't that happen at some level?
Because it's rare.
If you have 10 samples and one of them is bullshit, that's a problem.
It's amazing to me that doctors and judges go along with it, even when, in your case, in the latest season, another doctor calls and says, this is what's happening.
It's medical child abuse.
And then the doctor's like, oh, okay, I don't know.
The lesson really, and you say this a lot on the show, is that people believe their eyes.
They believe their eyes over everything else.
Be on the lookout, folks.
