McHugh has been in Polk County jail since she was charged with aggravated child abuse in August. At the time of her arrest, investigators said McHugh suffered from Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. The syndrome is a disorder in which parents, usually the mother, fabricate symptoms for their children and put them through unnecessary medical tests and sometimes medical procedures, to get attention.
