Chapters
Bea Yorker, a retired professor of nursing, criminal justice, and criminalistics, shares her journey into the field of Munchausen by Proxy.

This ignited her fascination with the complexities of medical child abuse.
  • Bea Yorker's interest in Munchausen by Proxy (MBP) stemmed from a case involving a child with bleeding ears, initially suspected as MBP but later diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder.
  • A Roy Meadows article, detailing a case where a mother contaminated her child's urine samples with her own blood, further fueled Yorker's interest in MBP.
  • Yorker's initial exposure to MBP coincided with her time in law school and pregnancy with her third child.
