Munchausen by proxy is when you make something you love (child/pet) very ill on purpose for other people's sympathy. For example, feeding your child a poison that makes him lose all his hair and feel ill all the time and tell people he has cancer, for their sympathy and gifts. Hopefully she's not hurting the poor innocent baby...

oh yes! i have read about this...I went to a barbecue a few months back and this woman was there with her daughter who was aged about 12 or so..the daughter had been playing on a bouncy castle (inflatable) and became 'distressed' as she was having trouble breathing (hyperventilating) the mother (and the daughter!) made such a fuss and was making the daughter worse...you could tell the mum was loving the attention (so was the daughter!)...as she was dealing with her daughters 'attack' she was telling everyone that would listen about a recent mad dash to hospital she had had as her daughter had an asthma attack. The whole episode made me cringe with embarrassment!

Not saying this is her (JOY) but I have been looking... there is also the stealing....
factitious disorder..purposely create or exaggerate symptoms of illnesses. They usually go about this in diverse ways. They can lie about an illness and/or fake symptoms of illnesses or injuries. In some cases, they actually hurt themselves or alter diagnostic studies, such as contaminating a urine specimen.

The reasons behind the actions are to feign the role as a "patient." This will assure them of receiving attention, nurturing, and sympathy that they feel they are powerless to obtain in other ways. Some factitious disorder patients will reach as far as taking hallucinogens and even inject themselves with bacteria to produce infections.

Factitious disorder and Munchausen Syndrome are closely related. Munchausen Syndrome is a psychiatric disorder where a person fakes disease, illness, or psychological trauma in order to draw attention or sympathy to him or herself. Malingering differentiates from factious disorder because the person fakes illness to attain external gains such as drugs or disability payments. Factitious disorder is diagnosed by the absence of malingering.

Kleptomania = http://www.minddisorders.com/Kau-Nu/Kleptomania.html read more


reading this gives me chills... and makes me sick

Kleptomania is a complex disorder characterized by repeated, failed attempts to stop stealing. It is often seen in patients who are chemically dependent or who have a coexisting mood, anxiety, or eating disorder. Other coexisting mental disorders may include major depression, panic attacks, social phobia, anorexia nervosa, bulimianervosa, substance abuse, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. People with this disorder have an overwhelming urge to steal and get a thrill from doing so. The recurrent act of stealing may be restricted to specific objects and settings, but the affected person may or may not describe these special preferences. People with this disorder usually exhibit guilt after the theft.

Detection of kleptomania, even by significant others, is difficult and the disorder often proceeds undetected. There may be preferred objects and environments where theft occurs. One theory proposes that the thrill of stealing helps to alleviate symptoms in persons who are clinically depressed.

It says it was uploaded 7 days ago. I hope she still has your baby because I think it's odd that she would only have jaden and jewelina out for a walk.

Yeah, that is an older video. I have actually seen all of her videos on YouTube. There are about 5 of them on there. It's just weird though that she uploaded this one on AOL 8 days ago. She is probably already on another Yorkie web site and possibly trying to show the video to people but wanted to move it to a new place

I wanted to check in here to see if there was any more progress. Panama69, I so feel for you. When Joy was posting all those threads about her dogs, I was totally snowed by her, she seemed so sweet, devoted to her dying Nana and those little dogs. Like I said earlier, I feel like a total idiot for being sucked in like that..... I used to cry sometimes when she spoke about her Grandmother, nearly sent her money.
I have a thought - it seems to me she dodged payment of money or items owed to so many people here. Perhaps by August, she was starting to feel cornered and desperate, so MAYBE she was the one that pretended to be her sister and sent out that email about her terrible accident. This way she knew for sure it would be posted on YorkieTalk, people would feel so sorry for her, they would not dream of demanding she pay up. Then when she got found out, she posted that thread regarding her "outrage" over the "lie" of her supposed accident. I do feel strongly that Joy was the one behind this, as a way of escaping her debts.
Just my two cents. I did look for the emails she sent me, but unfortunately I had deleted them.
Sorry to repeat myself, but I still feel like a total fool for being sucked in by this girl. I truly sympathize for you Panama69, you must be so desperate to get Melody back.
Hugs to you,
Lauren

Don't feel like a fool. We all thought she was sweet, i thought she was the nicest girl but then i started to be weary of her when she jipped me and never sent me my bag, also when she stated all those occupations and to me lied about Jewelina's size, cause i really think she was bigger than 1.6 lbs lol , i was like ok this girl lies for no reason but w.e. im not even going to get into it

You're right i should have spoken out and prob. the other ppl that got jipped by her too but i figured why make a big fuss about it when it's one bag...i even thought at one point ok maybe it did get lost in the mail. But I know that she always put confirmation on her stuff whenever she sold things and i was like well why didn't she do that for my bag?? I didn't think she had done it to other ppl so i felt i woulda felt like a fool posting on a thread that she jipped me when it could have all been a mistake. But the way she said "OMG girl i thought this whole time you had it" and blah blah blah it didn't sound sincere to me so basically i knew she was lying. Also things she did before that seemed very dishonest like the fact that i sold her dog pants for Jaden before and she resold them for a higher price than i sold them to her...wth why would she do that to ppl? I even have the proof cause she has them for sale on one of her threads, i even was going to ask her on her thread why are you selling them for more and lying about where you got them but i didn't...and i should have

[mizzwanned]

Another reason i didnt is cause i figured ppl have the right to put any price they want on what they are selling but since i sold them to her cheaper i thought it was wrong of her to try and get more money for them from YT members when really YT memebers are your friends and you shouldn't be trying to jip them

SORRY, TOO MUCH INCONSISTENCY IN THIS STORY, I'M SCEPTIC ABOUT ALL THIS.

Is she the one who sent Dina all those PMs harrassing her about Princess Pia's size? I remember her posting pictures of Pia on a scale and with a tape measure to prove her size because someone was harrassing her and telling her she was lying about Pia's size.
