An Internet Resource for Forensic Investigation of Child Sexual Abuse Cases Printable Version of this Article Munchausen by Proxy (MBP) Maltreatment Manifesting as Child Sexual Abuse Louisa J. Lasher, M.A. Marc D. Feldman, M.D. Abstract: Munchausen by Proxy (MBP) is a recognized form of maltreatment in which caregivers deliberately feign or produce physical and/or psychological-behavioral problems in others. MBP maltreatment may manifest as physical abuse, emotional abuse, medical neglect, sexual abuse , or a combination thereof. When sexual abuse is suspected during an MBP maltreatment investigation or MBP is suspected during a sexual abuse investigation, both sexual abuse and MBP investigation activities and techniques must be combined. This article will provide an MBP overview and an introduction to the basics of appropriate MBP investigation and substantiate/unsubstantiate. Key Words: Munchausen by Proxy, Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome, Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, Factitious Disorder by Proxy, MBP, MSBP, MSP, maltreatment, abuse, neglect, physical abuse, emotional abuse, neglect, sexual abuse. In the paper that follows, we will provide an overview of the disturbing and complex form of maltreatment called Munchausen by Proxy (MBP). We will explain how MBP can manifest itself through child sexual abuse, provide basics of the appropriate MBP investigation and confirmation-disconfirmation process, and offer ideas about enhancing the sexual abuse investigation through consideration of MBP.

46. Child Abuse, Foster Parenting, Foster Care-All About Emil Foster parenting and the fun things that go with it. Contains articles, stories and jokes from a social worker. http://webpages.charter.net/emilb/firstcontact.html

All About Emil -Information on foster parenting, foster care, and all the fun stuff that goes with it.- This website contains information about child abuse, foster care, and adoption. However, my experience in the child welfare field was with foster and adoptive parents. So...most of the articles and stories you will see here concern the foster/adopt parent, their role, and general parenting information. Additionally, you will find a large amount of jokes, quotations, and other items that I find interesting. These literary masterpieces are all original works by me (Emil) or the author's name is given if known. Before retiring, I "did time" as a Foster Care/Adoption Homefinder for around 20 years. As a social worker, my job was to evaluate, train, and provide support for those parents in my region. I have been fortunate to have my articles published on About.com as well as fostering sites, in print, as handouts for training, and so on. Information on how to obtain permission for reprints is given inside. Most things concerning the child welfare system tend to be very serious...that goes without saying. I think that the majority of my articles and stories convey that feel...however...I must warn you that I do have a very strong sense of humor and you will see that as well. This is not your typical, academic-laden, dour, "social werky" type of site. Dealing with the child welfare system creates a lot of stress for all parties concerned. Hopefully, "Emilville" will provide a lighter alternative for those people.

C HILD A BUSE - T HE H IDDEN B RUISES No. 5 (10/92) (Updated 8/98) T he statistics on physical child abuse are alarming. It is estimated hundreds of thousands of children are physically abused each year by a parent or close relative. Thousands die. For those who survive, the emotional trauma remains long after the external bruises have healed. Communities and the courts recognize that these emotional "hidden bruises" can be treated. Early recognition and treatment is important to minimize the long term effect of physical abuse. Children who have been abused may display: a poor self image sexual acting out inability to trust or love others aggressive, disruptive, and sometimes illegal behavior anger and rage self destructive or self abusive behavior, suicidal thoughts passive or withdrawn behavior fear of entering into new relationships or activities anxiety and fears school problems or failure feelings of sadness or other symptoms of depression flashbacks, nightmares drug and alcohol abuse Often the severe emotional damage to abused children does not surface until adolescence or later, when many abused children become abusing parents. An adult who was abused as a child often has trouble establishing intimate personal relationships. These men and women may have trouble with physical closeness, touching, intimacy, and trust as adults. They are also at higher risk for anxiety, depression, substance abuse, medical illness, and problems at school or work. Without proper treatment, physically abused children can be damaged for life. Early identification and treatment is important to minimize the long-term consequences of abuse. Child and adolescent psychiatrists provide comprehensive evaluation and care for children who have been abused. The family can be helped to learn new ways of support and communicating with one another. Through treatment, the abused child begins to regain a sense of self-confidence and trust.

Sherry Murphy, 41, waived her right to an appearance in court. She was being held in jail on $250,000 bail, but the bail was revoked because of a probation violation. The case will go to a grand jury and is still under investigation. Murphy faces three counts of second-degree child endangerment. If convicted, she could be sentenced to five to 10 years in jail for each count. She also could face other charges because the death of one child has been ruled a homicide.

60. "Judicial Activism Ruined Our Public Schools." An expose of how fraudulent Supreme Court rulings have inflicted massive damage on our public education system. http://ttokarnak.home.att.net/Educ.html

Twenty-Million Ruined Educations In 1954, most black children were offered an inferior education in America's public schools, especially in the South. The kids learned to read and write and do arithmetic. They learned some history, geography, and respect for western values, and they learned to speak English. However, their education was not equal to the education offered most white children at the same time. White children, in the 1950's, got an excellent education in our big city schools. Now most children, black and white, are offered an inferior education in America's public schools. The education black children get in big cities is worse than inferior. It's pathetic. Failed urban public schools helped produce a black ghetto whose residents evolved their own language. Having failed to teach English, school bureaucrats in Oakland, California decided to teach the black kids what they already knew. In place of English, they proposed to teach "ebonics" [1]. A question comes to mind. What caused the quality of our big city schools to go from excellent to pathetic in a few decades? Various experts will give you a long list of reasons, but they'll never mention the main one. Public mention of that reason would end the career of an educator or a politician; so they all practice denial. Our urban public schools went from excellent to pathetic because of the actions of a lawless federal judiciary. THE HOSTAGE THEORY We discussed the Warren Court's landmark school desegregation rulings in a companion essay, Viking Jurisprudence, Part 2. And we learned that they were based on fraudulent constitutional interpretations. However, they served important values, and they now enjoy a high degree of public respect. So let's not beat a dead horse. But let's keep two things about
