The Mother Next Door: Medicine, Deception, and Munchausen by Proxy | by Andrea Dunlop and Mike Weber



Publication Date: Feb 4, 2025

Munchausen by Proxy (MBP) is a horrific form of child abuse in which the medical community is used as a the main weapon. MBP is filled with misinformation. The Mother Next Door is about three different cases in which MBP takes place. Andrea Dunlop is a novelist and has a family member with MBP and Mike Weber is a detective who has the worked on more medical child abuse cases than any other detective in the nation. 

Expect to be angry and heart broken as you read the cases in this book. MBP is disturbing and this book shows how important it is for the medical community and law enforcement to work together in order to protect the vulnerable.

The Mother Next Door looks into the cases of  Hope Ybarra, Brittany Phillips and Mary Welch. 

** I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
