Fabricated illness in children much more common than previously thought

Fabricated illness in children is “more common” than people believe, experts have said. “Doctor Google” and social media could be contributing to an increase in parents having misbeliefs about child illnesses, children’s doctors suggested. It comes as the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) launched new guidance about fabricated or induced illness (FII) in children – previously known as Munchausen’s syndrome by proxy. Experts said that cases arise when parents either believe that their child has an illness when they do not, or in some rare instances cause the illness themselves – either by poisoning or other means.
