You need to have a fuckload of fuses loose to poison your own child for attention

Munchausen syndrome by proxy isn't a disease, it's a behavioral pattern. The behavioral pattern of being an attention whore.
It's a syndrome and a mental health issue. Not just an "attention whore"

[QUOTE]The name "Münchausen syndrome by proxy" is derived from Münchausen syndrome, but it is important to distinguish one from the other, as they describe very different (but related) conditions. People with Münchausen syndrome have a profound need to assume the sick role, and will exaggerate complaints, falsify tests, and/or self-inflict illnesses.[13] MSbP perpetrators, by contrast, are willing to fulfill their need for positive attention by hurting their own child, thereby assuming the sick role by proxy. At times, they are also able to assume the hero role and garner still more positive attention, by appearing to care for and save their child.[5][/QUOTE]
Sounds like an attention whore
[QUOTE=icedt;45149138]I was once bet $50 i couldn't eat a mouthful of salt (literally a mouthful, i tilted my head back and let them just pour the salt until it overflew out the top) i was surprised how quickly my mouth lost any capability of swallowing or producing saliva. The experience ended with me throwing up, and shivering for about three hours after with a burning sensation all up and down my whole body. Totally worth the $50 though.[/QUOTE]
That is incredibly dangerous. A large spoonful of salt can be enough to kill you.
[QUOTE=Tetsmega;45147571]How do you poison someone with salt?[/QUOTE]
If I remember right your heart requires a specific balance of sodium and potassium in its cells to function properly. Too much of either element, or indeed not enough, causes your heart to go haywire.

Your attitude about this is harmful and ignorant.
[QUOTE=Impact1986;45149009]If she wasn't an attention whore why did she blog all about it[/QUOTE]
Münchhausen Syndrome means you feign serious illness for attention. Münchhausen by proxy means you will attempt to create or feign illness in others for attention.
What better place for attention then the Internet?
[QUOTE]Days before Garnett died, he was reportedly awake and talking when friends came to visit. One friend said the boy told her, "Don’t leave me."[/QUOTE]
Jesus fucking Christ. That's absolutely heart-wrenching. He was suffering so severely and he knew it was his own mom doing it to him. His entire life was nothing but pain and horrible illness, and he knew the one doing it to him was his own mom, who was probably most of his world. What an awful existence.
I'm glad he no longer has to deal with that, though it's also sad that he never had a chance to escape and recover. Reading some more articles on it and he apparently had a lot of friends and people who cared about him (since of course his mom was spreading word of his illnesses for attention). If only he had told just one of those people about what was going on...

[quote]Three years before she was charged with poisoning her son to death with salt, Lacey Spears was investigated by Florida child welfare authorities after complaints that she was medically neglecting her then 2-year-old son and would slap him till he cried.
"Mom will slap him for no reason as hard as she can. He begins to cry and then she begins to love on him," according to an allegation made to Florida's Department of Children and Families.[/quote]
....fuck. I don't know how much more of this story I can take. It just gets worse and worse.
Crazy bitch.
Literally just read an almost identical story about a mom who poisoned her 4-year old daughter to get likes on Facebook. Likes. On fucking Facebook.
These people are mental and need some serious help. Too bad their insanity has to go out on their kids.

And she is still an attention whore.
Just like how pedophiles who rape children are still rapists. There are pedophiles out there who don't rape children, just like how there are people suffering from Münchhausen Syndrome who don't poison their own child just for attention.

But literally the whole point of Münchausen Syndrome by proxy is that [I]you're doing it to somebody else for attention?[/I] The wheres, whos and hows don't really matter in terms of the illness itself. It might be a more severe case than some, but it seems more like you're saying this because you like saying the phrase 'attention whore' more than anything else.

The two things aren't mutually exclusive

Using names like that dehumanizes people and ignores the reality of the problem.
You wouldn't call someone with schizophrenia a lunatic. You wouldn't call somebody with depression a debbie downer. You wouldn't call someone with severe autism a spaz. You wouldn't call someone in a wheelchair a cripple. This is the same thing.
And if you do resort to name calling in regards to mental illness or any other disorder, please stop. You do not have to be part of the problem.

Yes they'd be horrible things to say but the definitions of the colloquialisms still fit those subjects in a way, even if they're incredibly inappropriate terms to label people with genuinely serious conditions

Lots of people absolutely do these things and I bet there's quite a bit of overlap with the people who considering having Munchausen "attention whoring". Some people just completely lack empathy, awareness, and a desire to not be ignorant.
i fucking love salt.

She's not an attention whore, she's a potentially dangerous loony. She needs serious mental help, and if she's a lost cause, put her away in a happy farm with all the other lost causes.

Well, not really potentially seeing as she murdered her kid.

she requires institutionalization and corrections.
you can have a justice system without cruelty and retribution - there is no reason to deliberately mistreat people who've done wrong except for your own petty emotional satisfaction
Social media is great, right.

What happens when you pour salt on a snail or slug? Now imagine that is your entire intestinal tract.
