So true. It’s very hard to discern. Once I had a little NICU baby who was older, still in the hospital but mobile. We could never figure out why the baby stayed so sick and had the oddest infections. The mom would take her for walks around the hospital and we saw on camera that she was disconnecting her central line (like a big IV in your heart) and rubbing it on the floor and in her mouth. It was so utterly shocking to watch. 

Happy ish ending, the mom got treatment and with months of help from psych, the baby actually went home and live happily ever after. The mom was actually a good mom in the end. She wasn’t prosecuted but helped.
