Lasher, M.A. Marc D. Feldman, M.D. Abstract: Munchausen by Proxy (MBP) is a recognized form of maltreatment in which caregivers deliberately feign or produce physical and/or psychological-behavioral problems in others. MBP maltreatment may manifest as physical abuse, emotional abuse, medical neglect, sexual abuse , or a combination thereof. When sexual abuse is suspected during an MBP maltreatment investigation or MBP is suspected during a sexual abuse investigation, both sexual abuse and MBP investigation activities and techniques must be combined. This article will provide an MBP overview and an introduction to the basics of appropriate MBP investigation and substantiate/unsubstantiate. Key Words: Munchausen by Proxy, Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome, Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, Factitious Disorder by Proxy, MBP, MSBP, MSP, maltreatment, abuse, neglect, physical abuse, emotional abuse, neglect, sexual abuse. In the paper that follows, we will provide an overview of the disturbing and complex form of maltreatment called Munchausen by Proxy (MBP). We will explain how MBP can manifest itself through child sexual abuse, provide basics of the appropriate MBP investigation and confirmation-disconfirmation process, and offer ideas about enhancing the sexual abuse investigation through consideration of MBP.

Vaccination - Legalised Child Abuse “There are fewer greater insults one can offer the immune system of a young child...” Dr R Moskowitz Nailing the Lies 1. Edward Jenner’s vaccine saved Britain and the world from Smallpox. False: The vaccine caused 42,000 deaths in England and Wales in 1871-2 alone, hundreds of thousands of deaths around the world, and delayed the demise of smallpox in the UK by at least 50 years. Isolation, sanitation, social and cyclic factors were responsible for the decline of smallpox. The smallpox vaccine disaster should have seen the permanent banning of all future vaccination but was used as a basis for a multi-billion dollar fraud. 2. Germs cause disease. False: Germs are the product of disease. If they were the cause then everyone exposed to them would become ill. Even the old fraud and plagiarist, Louis Pasteur recanted on his death-bed that “The microbe is nothing; the soil/host is all”, but it was too late. The bug-hunters, with their Germ Theory, were up and running towards a trillion-dollar empire of vaccines, antibiotics, antiseptics, antibacterials and disinfectants, with the catastrophic consequences to human health and immunity. 3. Measles, mumps, whooping cough, rubella, etc, are dangerous diseases.

56. "Judicial Activism Ruined Our Public Schools." An expose of how fraudulent Supreme Court rulings have inflicted massive damage on our public education system. http://ttokarnak.home.att.net/Educ.html

Twenty-Million Ruined Educations by D. J. Connolly In 1954, most black children were offered an inferior education in America's public schools, especially in the South. The kids learned to read and write and do arithmetic. They learned some history, geography, and respect for western values, and they learned to speak English. However, their education was not equal to the education offered most white children at the same time. White children, in the 1950's, got an excellent education in our big city schools. Now most children, black and white, are offered an inferior education in America's public schools. The education black children get in big cities is worse than inferior. It's pathetic. Failed urban public schools helped produce a black ghetto whose residents evolved their own language. Having failed to teach English, school bureaucrats in Oakland, California decided to make a course of study out of street language. They called it "ebonics" [Note 1]. A question comes to mind. What caused the quality of our big city schools to go from excellent to pathetic in a few decades? Various experts will give you a long list of reasons, but they'll never mention the main one. Public mention of that reason would end the career of an educator or a politician; so they all practice denial. Our urban public schools went from excellent to pathetic because of the actions of a lawless federal judiciary.

59. NYC Settles Lisa Child Abuse Suit Explains the suit, brought by Lisa Steinberg's biological mother, for the neglect of the city to protect the child. http://www.rickross.com/reference/general/general129.html

NYC Settles Lisa Child Abuse Suit New York Law Journal , October 1, 1999 By Daniel Wise New York City yesterday agreed to pay $985,000 to the estate of Lisa Steinberg, who was beaten to death in 1987, to settle claims that city agencies had failed to protect her from child abuse. Six-year-old Lisa Steinberg was pummeled to death in 1987 by Joel Steinberg, at the time a criminal defense lawyer. Mr. Steinberg, who had custody of Lisa for her entire life but never adopted her, was convicted of first- degree manslaughter in 1989 for killing her. He remains in jail. After Lisa's death, Ms. Launders was appointed administratrix of her estate, and she brought the lawsuit in that capacity. As Lisa's closest relative, Ms. Launders is expected to receive the bulk of the settlement. The negotiations were supervised by Acting Justice Martin Shulman, and he is expected to approve the accord, lawyers close to the case said. Ms. Launders strongest claim may have been against the Board of Education. She was prepared to prove, Mr. Famighetti said, that a student teacher in Lisa's first grade classroom in Greenwich Village had told the teacher in charge that she had observed "bruises in various stages of healing" on Lisa. That teacher had failed to file a report of suspected child abuse as is required to do under the law, he asserted. Child welfare workers and police officers had both been to the family's West 10th Street apartment and seen evidence of abuse but failed to act on it, Mr. Famighetti said.

60. Brigman: Circumcision As Child Abuse by William E. Brigman Journal of Family Law, University of Louisville School of Law, 1984-85 http://www.cirp.org/library/legal/brigman/

Journal of Family Law University of Louisville School of Law Volume Twenty-three 1984-85 Number Three CIRCUMCISION AS CHILD ABUSE: THE LEGAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUES by William E. Brigman* I. I NTRODUCTION The maltreatment of children is as old as recorded history. Infanticide, ritual sacrifice, exposure, mutilation, abandonment, brutal discipline and the near slavery of child labor have existed in all cultures at different periods, and have been justified by disparate beliefs - that they were necessary to placate a god, to expel spirits, to maintain the stability of a race or simply to inculcate learning. Practices viewed today as victimizing children were accepted for long periods in civilized communities as "in the best interest" of society. The Spartans with their exposure of infants, the English and New England owners of factories partly "manned" by children of eight or ten, the Southern slave owners, were all convinced that their treatment was beneficial to the community and perhaps to the children themselves. Despite the great concern about child abuse among scholars and legislators in the past twenty years, the same type of cultural astigmatism which prevented past generations from perceiving their actions as child abuse prevent contemporary Americans from perceiving or acknowledging the most widespread form of child abuse in society today: child mutilation through routine neonatal circumcision of males. In a society in which over 89% of all males are circumcised within a few hours of birth, it may be difficult to conceive of circumcision as mutilation. However, from the perspective of a neutral outsider, neonatal circumcision is as barbarous as female circumcision, the removal of earlobes, fingers or toes, the binding of infant female feet or other disfiguring practices around the world.
