The mother, Candida Fluty, was caught on camera removing feces from her son’s colostomy bag and injecting the matter into her son’s intravenous drip.

Fluty’s son suffers from a rare disorder known as Hirschsprung’s disease, which hinders the muscles involved in bowel movements. He was recovering from a surgery required to deal with the condition at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.

Fluty’s actions appear to have exacerbated her son’s symptom.

Daily Mail has reported that there is reason to believe that Candida Fluty suffers from Münchausen syndrome by proxy (MSBP). This mental illness could explain her bizarre attempts to worsen her son’s illness.

MBPS is defined as a mental disorder or behavior pattern in which the caregiver (typically the mother) fabricates or induces health problems on those they are responsible for. Persons afflicted with MBPS use their caretaker role to receive attention or sympathy.
