This story, although not mentioned anywhere within, reminds me of a clear case of <a href="http://www.mbpexpert.com/definition.html" >Munchausen by proxy syndrome</a>. MBPS is a fairly uncommon condition that involves exaggeration or fabrication of an illness or symptoms by a caregiver. Mostly mothers. It is also one of the most harmful forms of child abuse. Usually the caregiver or parent tried to convince others into thinking the child is sick while, in all actuality, they&#8217;re the ones making the child sick. Talk about attention whores. Well, meet our newly featured whore Tonya Robinson. Her baby was getting help as she made extra sure he remained ill.<span id="more-8036"></span></p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 151px"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://tinypic.com"  target="_blank"><img style="border: 0px initial initial" src="http://i25.tinypic.com/29enamt.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" width="141" height="176" title="29enamt Tonya Robinson Pulls The Feeding Tube" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Tonya Robinson&#39;s Victim</p></div>
<p>This Texas bad ass of a mother raised hospital staff&#8217;s suspicions when her 20 month-old son was admitted to a hospital in Little Rock, weighing only 18 pounds. Now for a 20 month-old boy, the average weight at that age should be over 25 pounds. A feeding tube was inserted and the child miraculously started gaining weight. The suspicions arose when he started losing it again. How does this happen? I know you know. Mommy Tonya, of course.</p>
<p>Staff allegedly witnessed this caring mother throwing a blanket over her sick son while she pulled out his feeding tube. She fucking pulled out the very thing that was making her son well&#8230;and poured the formula that was assisting in his nourishment and growth into the baby&#8217;s diaper. Yep. She saved the boy a whole lot of trouble by having to digest that shit and piss it out. She took it straight from the tube and into the pants. Clever. Up until the time she got caught. Tests performed on the soiled diaper in fact showed undigested formula. *Ugh. Why?</p>
<p>Well, now Tonya Robinson is in some pretty stiff trouble. She landed her ass in jail Thursday without bail and is charged with endangering the welfare of a child, which is a felony that carries a maximum sentence of 6 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Now I&#8217;m not saying MBPS is the explanation for all of this&#8230;maybe it is&#8230;or maybe Tonya is just a cold hearted bitch. Who knows?</p>

Dakota, who was born premature, has suffered health problems since infancy. Now, here she is, at 3-years-old, continuing to suffer&#8211;with a little help from her mom. For several weeks after her admission into the hospital, Dakota cycled from recovery to setback. Suspicions grew when Dakota began to suffer from serious infections caused by organisms found in feces. A surveillance camera was placed in her room. On Sunday, the tapes were reviewed. <span id="more-7128"></span></p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 287px"><img title="Emily and Dakota McDonald at the Dreamin Demon" src="http://i40.tinypic.com/vyruch.jpg" alt="Emily and Dakota McDonald" width="277" height="202" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Emily and Dakota McDonald</p></div>
<p>On those tapes, Emily McDonald can be seen removing shit from her daughter&#8217;s diaper and smearing on the child&#8217;s Central Ventricular Line cap; that line goes directly into the girl&#8217;s bloodstream. Nice, mom. Real fucking nice. When questioned by detectives at the hospital, Emily admitted to wiping feces on the cap on five separate occasions, between April 15 and May 31, at the hospital. Did she know that feces in the bloodstream would make her daughter sick? Yes, she did. Was she aware that her actions could lead to the death of her child? Yep, she sure was.</p>
<p>Emily McDonald, 23, was arrested and charged with first-degree injury to a child, a felony. If convicted, she could face life in prison. Emily was released on $100,000 bond on Wednesday. She must wear an electronic monitoring device and an emergency protective order has been issued to keep her away from all three of her children. Comments from her attorney, Bob Phillips, made me LOFL, especially this one: <em>&#8220;I believe that as the facts unfold, the impression people have of this young woman will change for the better.&#8221; </em>Sure&#8230;whatever helps you sleep at night, Bill.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 260px"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://imageshack.us" ><img style="border: 0pt none;" title="Meredith Stilwell on dreamindemon.com" src="http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/5244/20090129102214bb7.jpg" border="0" alt="Meredith Stilwell on dreamindemon.com" width="250" height="298" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Meredith Stilwell</p></div>
<p><strong>Charlotte, NC </strong>- Meredith Stilwell, 21, has been charged with attempted 1st-degree murder and felony child abuse. She has been accused of trying to suffocate her 11-month-old daughter while the infant was in the hospital. Alexa had been diagnosed with cerebral atrophy and has spent the majority of her life in hospitals. Any of this sounding familiar?</p>
<p><span id="more-3036"></span></p>
<p>Too early to tell of course, but this sounds like another Munchausen by proxy case. Staff at Levine Children&#8217;s Hospital at CMC called police on Tuesday, reporting that Stilwell had try to suffocate the baby. They also stated they are confident that the infant has been abused more than once while in their care. Alexa had been hospitalized at CMC for several weeks and undergoing tests for troubled breathing, vomiting and seizures. This particular stay stemming from a phone call made to police at the beginning of the month in which Stilwell reported Alexa was not breathing and was blue.</p>
<p>Meredith&#8217;s husband Scott is standing behind her stating &#8220;<em>My wife has made it her main objective and focus to make sure the health of our daughter was No. 1,</em>” adding that he believes his wife was a victim of the stress of the little girl&#8217;s medical problems. Yes, you read that right. If he meant to or not, he basically blamed the infant&#8217;s medical issues on the reason why Meredith was helping give her MORE medical issues. Meredith is being held without bond and Alexa remains hospitalized at the CMC center. Scott Stilwell told reporters that Alexa is doing fine. Yeah, I bet she starts doing a LOT better now.</p>
<p>More information to follow, as I have a couple inside people giving me some information, but man this case sounds eerily familiar to <a href="http://www.dreamindemon.com/2007/11/21/wendi-scott-is-an-attention-whore/" >Wendi Scott</a> and a few other cases we have read about <a rel="nofollow" href="http://kidshealth.org/parent/general/sick/munchausen.html" title="Munchausen on dreamindemon.com"  target="_blank">regarding this subject</a>. Thanks to <a href="http://www.dreamindemon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12876"  target="_blank">CorruptedMistress</a> for the story.</p>
