This headline title encompasses many different situations in which children are presented as 'sick' but where the 'illness'has arisen as a result of the parent's actions in producing a factitious illness either directly |a induced illness or by telling a story of symptoms which lead health professionals to believe the child has an illness. A practical staged approach to this problem is described.
