Guest guest Posted May 2, 2000 Report Share Posted May 2, 2000 Danna- There is a psychological syndrome called Munchausen's. People cause themselves (deliberatly) symptoms of serious illness. When they do it to their children it's called Munchausen by proxy. They will actually do great real, physical harm to fake symptoms. They do it to get attention and sympathy, particularly from the medical community. These people are often quite knowledgable and devious. They have been known to fool even some of the best doctors. I imagine this internet fake is something quite similar. I don't know how to gaurd against it. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
