==Fabricated induced illness and children with ME/CFS== Some children with [[ME/CFS]] have found their parents accused of "fabricating" their illness, sometimes resulting in child protection/safeguarding measures being taken to separate the ill child from parents or carers. In some cases children with ME/CFS have been removed from parents and spent considerable time in a psychiatric unit, without parental contact.<ref name="colby2014">{{Cite web|url=https://www.tymestrust.org/pdfs/falseallegations.pdf | title=False Allegations of Child Abuse in Cases of Childhood Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) | last = Colby | first = Jane | authorlink=Jane Colby | date = 2014 | website = [[Tymes Trust]]|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=}}</ref><ref name="panorama">{{Cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/events/panorama/506549.stm | title = Panorama {{!}} Sick and Tired | last = BBC news | first = | authorlink = Sick and Tired - BBC | date = Nov 8, 1999 | website = news.bbc.co.uk|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=2019-02-12}}</ref> This has happened in a number of countries, including the [[United Kingdom|UK]], [[Denmark]] and [[Belgium]].<ref name="colby2014" /><ref name=":0">{{Cite journal | last = Van Hoof | first = E. | authorlink = E Van Hoof | last2 = De Becker | first2 = P. | authorlink2 = Pascale De Becker | last3 = De Meirleir | first3 = K. | authorlink3 = Kenny De Meirleir | authorlink4 = | authorlink5 = | date = Jan 2006 | title = Pediatric Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Munchausen-By-Proxy: A Case Study|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=MrcUN2k91IMC&oi=fnd&pg=PA45#v=onepage&q&f=false|journal=Journal of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome|language=en|volume=13|issue=2-3 | pages = 45β53|doi=10.1300/J092v13n02_02|issn=1057-3321|quote=|via=}}</ref>
