Munchausen syndrome by proxy is a mental illness and a form of child abuse. The caretaker of a child, most often a mother, either makes up fake symptoms or causes real symptoms to make it look like the child is sick.

For the second part - My job, in general, is working with children. In my field, I generally take the cases of abuse involving children. Though MSP is "rare", we see it very frequently 😬
