Season 2, Episode 20– Munchausen’s by Proxy-A Case Study

Join us for a very horrible yet inspiring story about a female survivor of Munchausen’s by Proxy. Whitney tells the story of a girl starting at 2 years old until 10, who endured unbelievable abuse at the hands of her mother. Learn about about this horrible mental illness that is sadistic in nature and hard to detect. This episode is very TRIGGERING. (Hence this could by why Whitney sounds more rummy than usual) We all need to be vigilant, educated, and trusting our gut when it comes to kids! Here are the sources for today’s episode!
