Mommy blogger, Lacey Spears, has been charged with fatally poisoning her 5-year-old son Garnett by giving him lethal amounts of sodium. During this process, Spears gained the sympathy of her followers and friends who she fooled into believing that Garnett was afflicted with never-ending illnesses. According to prosecutors, her actions may have resulted from her affliction with the psychiatric disorder Munchausen by proxy, which involves a parent sickening their child in order to receive attention from others. We discuss the disorder and Spears’s pattern of behavior, in this Lip News clip with Mark Sovel and Lissette Padilla.
