Yes, the doctors should have figured out what was happening and insisted on actual evidence of the child being sick before performing ANY treatments or surgeries. But the mother is an evil narcissist who used her child to gain sympathy, attention, and scam various organizations for money.

Same thing happened to Gypsy Rose. DeeDee just walked into multiple hospitals and told them that she had numerous conditions and diseases and they just listened to her. Only one doctor tried to fact check her and it was way too late by then, she skipped town once he started asking questions. She had them perform so many surgeries on her, including on her eyes, teeth, and inserting a feeding tube in her stomach. There was nothing wrong with Gypsy in the first place. Eminem's mom just shoved pills down his throat, telling him he was sick when he wasn't. Munchausen Syndrome is a dangerous mental issue for everyone under their care.

Medical people have worked hard and are eager to practise their skills. Unfortunately getting to the root of problems has never been the focus of western medicine, rather "fixing" the symptoms. They are being given false information! It must be very confusing but hopefully they were trying to help the child. When things are this strange however, i think they should closely observe 24/7 in a hospital/rehab setting for several weeks before deciding to do a surgury, to see if the environment at home is contributing to the situation. This is a horribly tragic story.

Even with having multiple organ issues, (stage 4 cirrhosis,chronic pancreatitis with calcification,crohns with complications(severe anemia from daily internal bleeding causing me to get iron infusions and blood transfusions) i have latent TB so i am not able to take biologics), and UC. medicaid didnt want to pay for iron infusions anymore until my iron was so low that i needed to be hospitalized. Now even with all that(and more) and being 52 yrs old, i wasnt jist given up on. My hospice team was wonderful and they gave me personalized care and by the Grace of God i stabilized and am on palliative care now. There is something so very wrong here.

I hate to say it, but while I think Gypsy's actions were justified, watching the documentary "Mommy Dead and Dearest" (I think that's what it was called), it can easily be seen that she's picked up quite a bit of her mother's manipulative, "I'm meek"/blame others personality. I know she was coached on it by her mother, but she's already a masterful artist who can easily shift all blame elsewhere and, because of what she's been through, people feel sorry for her and are quickly and easily inclined to believe her/defend her and I can see her using it to her advantage, making her a potentially _very_ dangerous person. Don't get me wrong, I am not sticking up for DeeDee or saying that that child deserved any of what her sociopathic mother put her through; I'm just saying that people really need to understand that she's not as vulnerable or innocent as she looks and people would do well to not let their guards down completely when it comes to her. I see her as someone with the potential to be a very dangerous individual- though I truly hope she won't set out to harm the world in an act of revenge for not protecting her from her mother. 😳😳 I guess we'll soon see what sort of mark she's gonna make on this world because she'll be out of prison soon- 2024 iirc!

This went on for 16 YEARS..She also benefited by getting donations, free trips, free cars, etc.. He started dating me & my parents treated him like a normal kid & he started to figure out how twisted his mother was.. So by 17 he joined the US Navy. We got married 1 week before his 18th birthday & thanks to the Navy we moved 1000 miles away from his crazy mother. She died due to an accidental overdose a few years later. We have been married for 34yrs now & Dave has almost never been physically sick in all those 34 years... but the mental scars she left him with, I don't think he will ever fully heal from.

I think they have to be careful on that one, because a legal precedent could be extremely harmful. For example, I have severe panic attacks, but none of my doctors have witnessed one. They have prescribed me emergency medicine for panic attacks, because they have to trust that I'm telling the truth. Or maybe you get a stomach bug, spend the whole night throwing up, and in the morning go seek medical help because you still feel sick, but stopped vomiting. The doctors might not see you throwing up, so they trust that you're telling the truth. If they legally attack the hospital using this thought process of you can't prescribe medication until you observe the symptoms, that can lead to some future messy court cases of medical negligence.

An a sick in the head daughter who I hope gets life in prison with NO possibility of parole. The hospital should not have been able to get off the hook so easily by making an out of court settlement. No amount of money makes what they did okay and the best way to STOP 🛑 this would be to hold all Dr.s and staff accountable for this child's death. In this day and age we know about Munchausen by proxy. The fact that the hospital kept doing surgeries on this poor child all on the mother word alone without having personally witnessed it themselves. I hope they pass a federal law forcing hospitals to have to actually witness the so called symptoms of a child having what their mother claims they are suffering from, run test to see of the mother gave them a medicine to make them sick or poison and keep them mother from being allowed to see her child while in their care till they can confirm by witnessing what the mother claims the child supposedly has. This story is sickening, sad, and infuriating.

Yeah that’s like exactly what I was thinking. I have to believe that if a kid in my family was literally in hospice care told me they were hungry, I’d immediately just be like “Oh yeah? What do you want to eat, I’ll get you anything you want.” And then go run out and get them something. The literal entire point of hospice care is that the person is going to die soon anyways, and to make them comfortable, so if they ask for something to eat, they should be able to get it. If it makes them sick later, oh well, they’re in *hospice*. I cannot imagine what her mother must have been saying and doing to everyone else to manipulate them that much. Clearly the grandfather cared for her so much. That woman must be like insanely manipulative.

That's Hospice for you. My husband would never put me in Hospice. He watched Hospice tell his aunt to stop giving any liquid to his grandmother so she would die. She only had pneumonia, but unfortunately, she also had cancer and she was in her 80's, so she was basically deemed expendable. We were so upset. It took three days and she passed on. We couldn't do anything, as she was under Hospice care and the aunt's care! I've also heard of a Hospice starvation case. It's unconscionable. I don't think most people understand that Hospice does these things (occasionally, at the very least - possibly more than I know, as I don't work for them). But to withhold WATER. That's the most miserable thing I can imagine.

Unfortunately, some things can't be proven and sometimes a parents word, someone who's with the child 24/7, is all they have to go off of. A lot of munchausens (either regular or by proxy) tend to pick diseases/symptoms/whatever that can't be definitively proven. Imagine her issues were real and the drs continually fought to "prove" it and she died while waiting? They absolutely should have contacted someone after she got better when she was on 1on1 and denied the DNR request, though.

It's deeper then murder. Mounchausen is a mental disease. These Mothers are bored, lacking something in their lives. They research diseases, ailments on line, and then seek attention from Doctors, through their kids. Telling the Doctors their child is suffering the effects of their online research. Most of these people, when they were younger, learned they got attention when they were sick. So, as they grew older, they used their kids to get this attention from Medical staff. It makes these sick parents feel smart, educated, that they can research, and know more then the Doctors. Most of these people do not have a Family Doctor. And if a doctor won't agree with them, they move to another doctor. So then go undetected. Alot of these parents will use their childs sickness to get money, from different organizations, grants, fund raisers, etc.. Also Most of these sick parents, believe their own lies. That's why Mounchausen is a real mental attention seeking sickness.

My mom was only 66, 5'5, and 68 lbs when she ended up in intensive care on oxygen. She had so many health issues like: COPD, electrolyte imbalance, high blood pressure, and her mind seemed like it was going. The doctors didn't think she was going to make it through the night. She became well enough to be discharged so I brought her to my house and cut out all the garbage she was eating and fed her lots of meat and some fruit. After two days her chronic pain from her 3 herniated discs was gone and she no longer used a rescue inhaler, which she used every couple of hours before. After two months she had gained 22 lbs, gotten off 5 medications, and was able to live on her own again without her homecare aid. She recently started eating bread, pasta, oatmeal, and potatoes again, and she's now getting winded walking to the bathroom, and her back pain and anxiety are back. You can't force people to be healthy, you can only show them the way. I had a problem with mental illness and was desperate enough to try anything. I had even made an appointment to start electroconvulsive therapy after years of being on and off all the pills. I happened across a video of someone healing their depression with meat and it sounded a lot less invasive so I did a lot of research and tried it. I saw a drastic improvement in three days and was noticing issues, that I thought were normal getting old stuff, were actually going away like knee pain and poor eyesight. I'll never go back to being so sick and miserable just for the small amount of pleasure I get from eating carbs.

When my mom tried to get me discharged they appointed me a court-ordered medical guardian, claimed I was incompetent, claimed she was abusive and forced me into unnecessary testing and treatments against my will. I am still fighting for my rights as the doctor claimed I was incompetent due to depression!

I used to work for Children's Colorado. The problem that was addressed in this video and that I believe was a contributing factor in Olivia's death, is the policy that child welfare concerns be brought to supervisors and the ethics committee and then they decide whether or not to do anything. That is NOT the law in Colorado. All mandatory reporters are required to call CPS with their concerns; talking to your supervisor and the ethics committee is not enough.

No, that's not strange at all in cases where the patient has a terminal illness. In fact, it's quite common. Because it's illegal to assist terminal patients with help ending their lives in most states, the standard of care in hospice in terminal illness is often pulling feeding tubes, withholding food, and signing a DNR. In cases where the patient is in extreme pain/discomfort and is terminal, this is often the most humane, legally available way to end someone's life. That said, it is not humane at all and states that do not support assisted suicide should be ashamed and change their laws. In the case of this little girl, we know now that she was not terminal, nor was she actually sick. Her mother appears to have a mental illness that caused her to torture her daughter for five long years, confirmed only after she attempted the same thing with another child. The system certainly failed this child, but the feeding tube and DNR are normal in terminal cases... of which this was not one. If there were doctors/nurses/medical staff that suspected any of this, and it appears there were, someone should have raised the alarm since they are *mandatory reporters.* However, it can be incredibility difficult to diagnose Munchausen by Proxy, and medicine in the US is really just hospitality and means pleasing patients, so it is not surprising that this happens. The system needs to change.

Exactly. Where I live, the norm is treating moms like we are all crazy or compulsive liars. When my daughter was 4 I took her to Children's with an obvious ear infection. After waiting forever the doc came in a stuck the scope in her ear and she started screaming. He said he would have to come back and try it later cuz he can't see her eardrum with her screaming. I told him she would NEVER let him do that and Not scream because she has sensory dysfunction to begin with. He said he'd be right back. When he returned, he requested that I remove all her clothes for a standard once-over, you know, protocol. Fully aware that the police were right outside I complied- what else can you do? It drives me crazy seeing women like this kill their kids in front of a million people knowing how I and my children get treated by the same system.

Unfortunately it's called VSED voluntary stop eating and drinking. It's supposed to be for terminal illnesses. In a hospice setting. And if they ask for food or drink they are supposed to get it. I can't believe it is allowed on children, especially where no proof of a terminal illness with death expected in less than 6 months isn't there, which is what it should be for if used at all. My boyfriend was brain dead so I guess it wasn't technically VSED but removal of all life support but starving just the same. Tragic. I don't get how they allow VSED but not a less painful way of death. They're both assisted suicide in my mind, but I guess technically they get around that by the person refusing food, not a doctor providing a drug, but you'd think if they're going to allow one the less tortured one would be better (not that it's good either but at least they don't suffer for days wasting away)
