Hbo had a documentary back in 2003 I think. It’s called a boys life. I can’t find the doc in full. But I have since found clips on tube. Crazy film about a munchauden by proxy case unfolding right before your eyes. Hard to watch but you can’t look away. If anyone can hunt down the whole film please let me know. I heard hbo got the rights to this pulled a yr after it’s release.
