That's possible, but she doted on M so much, she had an 'unusual attachment' or however it was worded on her daughter. I think more likely, maybe, she repeated over and over something along the lines of M gave Sky a little bit of medicine, to keep her from telling the true story.
Keep in mind, kids at that age blurt out everything. Including some things that are pretty embarrasing. JB had pulled M out of daycare/preschool at some point as I recall reading her dcp/preschool hadn't seen her in weeks or months. I think it is a very strong possibility she was pulled because of the things about her homelife she was sharing at school.
I think it is possible M was used to parroting mommies stories. I hope those interviewing M are well trained professionals who can determine from M if 'mommy told me to say that' kind of thing.

I hope if that is what happened that you are right. I just wonder how much doting is done with a child she couldn't bother to feed and if CMA mode overpowers the unusual bond. My 4 year old has learned how to unbuckle her carseat and would do so while driving and then jump up and hug you from behind while you are driving. On a rare visit with her dad she did it to him and he told her that if she did it and the police saw it they would separate us all and take us all to jail. Yes, I was angry and handled the situation, but she is terrified to ever do it again, even though I have told her that if she did it I would get in trouble and not her. It was six months ago and about a month ago her brother leaned on her seat belt buckle when he was getting in the car and her car seat became unlatched. We weren't even driving yet and she started screaming that we were going to jail. She hadn't mentioned it since she and I had our talk, so I just wonder.
