Mike Weber is a recently retired detective and current educator of Munchausen By Proxy. Maybe you have heard of the Gypsy Rose case? If not, Munchausen By Proxy is a mental illness and a form of child abuse. The caretaker of a child, knowingly, most often a mother, either makes up fake symptoms or causes real symptoms to make it look like the child is sick. Some of these cases result in deaths. What drives people to do this? How common is it? And how hard is it to investigate, prosecute and convict?

Find more information on Munchausen by Proxy and Mikes work here.
