Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy is a very dangerous type of child abuse. It is where the caregiver (usually the mother) states that their child has a life threatening disease so they can get medicine and unnecessary surgeries for their child.
The article about Hope Ybarra is crazy. She made up a lie that she had cancer again for the third time and then she said that her daughter had cerebral palsy. Her daughter, being at a very young age, underwent surgery and medical care that could have killed her.
I think she did this because she wanted attention. In the article she sated that she "watched" her mom do this, and her mom denied it. She claimed she was pregnant with twins, her husband had doubts but always believed her. When she got caught, she believed she did nothing wrong. Her children were severley abused with all of the unneccesary treatment. They will never get their childhood back. Her husband later divorced her while she is in prison. Her release date will be in October of 2019.
