Münchausen syndrome by proxy is a behaviour pattern in which a caregiver fabricates, exaggerates, or induces health problems in those who are in their care. With deception at its core, this behaviour is an elusive, potentially lethal, and frequently misunderstood form of child abuse or medical neglect that has been difficult to define, detect, and confirm.
