In 2005, Sophia died.</blockquote> :<blockquote>This interview with [[United Kingdom|British]] pediatrician Dr. Nigel Speight was conducted as part of the Dutch ME/CFS Association’s project Wetenschap voor Patiënten (Science to Patients). Dr. Speight talks about other cases in which young patients with ME/CFS have been taken from their families. In some of these cases mothers have been accused of making their children ill ([[Munchausen syndrome by proxy|Munchhausen by Proxy]]). In others the children have been diagnosed with “Pervasive Refusal Syndrome.”</blockquote> :<blockquote>Dr. Speight’s experience with state agencies is extensive. He has fought to have 30 children with ME [returned] to their families, and won 28 of those battles.<ref name=":1" /></blockquote>
