If this is the same girl that was in the news last year, her mother has Munchhausen's by proxy. She had form for taking her child to the hospital for all manner of different things. This was just the latest.
The child couldn't communicate properly and so the mother wrote her statement on a card and photographed it. All very dodgy. I believe she tried to raise money on Facebook for surgery, but a journalist exposed it for what it was.
If it's a second child with Down's syndrome, then God help us.
