The illness is called Munchausen syndrome by proxy, now more commonly referred to as Factitious Disorder Imposed on Another (FDIA). It involves a caregiver, often a parent, intentionally causing or fabricating illness in a child to gain attention, sympathy, or care from others. This behavior can lead to serious harm to the child and requires intervention for both the child's safety and the caregiver's mental health.
