A report published in the
American Academy of Pediatrics discusses the use of hidden
cameras and listening devices in hospital rooms at
Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite (formery
Scottish Rite Children's Medical Center, Atlanta, GA),
claims to have identified 23 MSP cases.
When doctors were unable to
determine any other cause for a child's illness,they decided
to use hidden cameras to monitor the parents when they were
in the room with their children.
Between 1993 and 1997 a
total of 41 patients were monitored. MSP was stated to be
present in 23 of the cases. Fifty-five percent of the
mothers accused had previous experience in healthcare and
another twenty-five percent had worked in day care.
This brings two very
interesting points to light: First, 41 suspected and 23
confirmed MSP reports in 5 years at just one hospital seems
like a large amount, and second, was the hospital in the
right?

Many Faces of MSP
As difficult as
physical MSP abuse is, it is only one of many ways that
children can be affected. (March
