N2  - Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy is a serious form of child abuse/maltreatment that often leads to death. Unfortunately, it is sometimes recognized only after a child dies. Police and EMS personnel are mandated reporters of child abuse; however, it is important to understand the differences in behaviors and characteristics found in Munchausen syndrome, as opposed to other forms of abuse.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
