You are being very loose in your language. Maltreatment is not equivalent to accepting a diagnosis...especially when the patient has received a different diagnosis from a qualified respected physician.

We are obviously having a disconnect here. I've already stated that if what the parents are saying is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, than this is really F'd up and the doctors at BCH should face the full extent of the law.

I just have a feeling we are missing some info here, which is why I'm not ready to go crazy quite yet.

I don't have any inside info, but their story is supported by the other doctor (very credible) and by the state's plan indicating that if they accepted the diagnosis, custody would be returned to the parents.

Yes we have heard the family, and yes we have heard from the doctors on their side. They may be correct, and if so, this is a horrible situation.
On the other hand, I can tell you from personal experience that individuals and families with Manchausen's or other serious psychiatric disorders can be very smooth. I've seen fellow M.D.'s that I respect immensely get fooled. Until ALL of the info on both sides is open, I'm going to reserve judgement and not condemn one side.
