subject: Munchausen`s Syndrome By Proxy

From what I gather this "unique and often unrecognized" form of child abuse 
s
so rare that most of the online medical journals I've looked at do not even 
mention it.  This sounds like the perfect application for the Daubert 
criteria. ;)-~
One question begging to be asked is how can someone be prosecuted for having 
a diagnosed, and presumably psychiatric, disorder?
My recent research has turned up quite a selection of "disorders" on both 
sides of this issue.  Everything from "Cinderella complex" to this rare 
syndrome.  It would appear that in the field of the social sciences, there is 
a syndrome or disorder to describe each and every unique condition, behavior, 
situation or circumstance into which a human being may fall.
If I find some time, I may just write up something of a glossary of these 
terms.
