Just another indication of how the truth is glossed over by DS.
• An article headlined The campaign against David Southall (6 May, page 12, G2) said that the campaign against him and a fellow paediatrician, Sir Roy Meadow, had been led by a group called Mothers against Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy; the group was described as denying the existence of a form of abuse whereby a parent deliberately causes a child illness or injury. The article went on to describe Penny Mellor as leader of the campaign. To clarify: the article did not intend to suggest that Penny Mellor's activism on this issue involved leadership of a specific group, Mothers against Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, or that she shared the group's belief that parents/carers do not abuse children in this way.
