The mother of a 3-year-old in Texas has been accused of causing her child injuries by forcing her to have unneeded medical and surgical procedures due to suspected Munchausen syndrome by proxy.

According to reports, the 27-year-old mother of a 3-year-old girl put up a GoFundMe page asking for donations to pay for travel and expenses so she could take her child for a medical procedure in Ohio she allegedly claimed the youngster needed.

It was reported that the child had been to Cook’s Children’s Hospital in the past, and they found out that her mother was taking her to other states for treatment of conditions her daughter had not been diagnosed with. They believed the mother was searching for any doctor she could find to get the procedures done, even though they were allegedly not needed.
