Blanca Montano had a seven month old daughter, and a little boy who was reported to be "a little older," who both fell ill and were hospitalized in Tucson, Arizona in 2011. The little boy got better and was able to go home but when the seven month old began to make progress, she quickly got worse over night. Blanca's daughter suffered a number of infections (bacterial, fungal, blood infection, among others) that doctors had never seen one child have all at once. Blanca was accused of having Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy, also known as Factitious Disorder, and was making her daughter very sick on purpose for attention.
