Yeah I read that series of books as well by Dave Peltzer which reminded me of another book I read some time ago.
The book was called From Cradle to Grave.? (correct me if i'm wrong cos not exactly sure) I can't remember the name of the author but it was a true story about a mother who had a lot of children and they kept dying. Apparent cot deaths but she adopted 1 or 2 children and they suffered the same fate. It was quite a harrowing read. Seems she suffered from Munchausen by Proxy syndrome. Same as Beverley Allitt. If you haven't read it I recommend it
