What is Munchausen syndrome by proxy?
Munchausen syndrome by proxy is a mental health disorder and a form of possible child abuse in which a caregiver creates the appearance of health problems in another person.
In December, another Tarrant County mother was accused in a similar case.
The sheriff’s office said that for years Denise Zamora lied and manipulated hospital staff and physicians at Cook Children’s Medical Center so that they would perform unnecessary medical treatments on her now 15-year-old daughter.
Zamora is facing nine felony charges related to the case.
