Munchaussen syndrome by proxy
MSBP is a syndrome in which perpetrators either harm a child in their care or achieve harm through their
insistence on medical tests and treatments for non-existent, fabricated or ecacerbated conditions. Abuse may go
on for some time, and sometimes this abuse results in the child's death.
In the strictest terms, Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy means that a perpetrator has Munchausen's syndrome
or factitious illness himself/herself and manifests the psychipathology via the child.
Aga kas MSBP on vaimne haigus ja kas kohtul on võimalus tunnistada selliseid vanemaid süüdimatuks/kas
kohtul on alust karistust selle võrra kergendada? Vastus on ei. (vaata siin järgi USA, Austraalia ja UK seadusi.
Kas nendes riikides on ka vaimne haigus süüdimatuse alus?)
In majority of legal jurisdiction, doctors are only allowed to give evidence in regard to whether the child is being
harmed
