Who will protect the children?
Young people severely affected by ME/CFS can face serious medical disbelief resulting in court-enforced removal from their families. Serious physical symptoms are dismissed with shifting diagnoses such as somatoform disorder, abnormal illness behaviour, Munchausen's syndrome by proxy or hysteria. As a consequence, families become embroiled in medical disputes over punitive treatment regimes and child protection orders can ensue. Around the world there are families who face judicial intervention in such disputes - "child abuse by health professionals".
- Dr Nigel Speight, paediatrician, University Hospital of North Durham, UK documents the serious risk factors for removal of the child with ME/CFS and relevant case histories, epidemiology, spectrum of severity and natural history of paediatric ME/CFS.
- John Chapman PhD recounts the experience of the "medical nightmare" faced by his family.
