Yes, the children would definately be removed from the parent's custody, but some of these cases continue for years before the parent's illness is detected. People with Munchausen's and Munchausen's by Proxy are very sophisticated in their medical knowledge. They actually study medical texts, etc. in order to present convincing symptoms.
