In a shocking report released by Queensland Police, the mother was taken into custody near Brisbane on Thursday and faces multiple serious charges including torture, administering poison, making child exploitation material, and fraud. Authorities launched their investigation after medical professionals raised concerns in October when the baby was hospitalized in severe distress.
Detectives allege that between August and October, the mother administered various prescription and over-the-counter medications to her daughter without any medical authorization, and even resorted to using leftover drugs prescribed to another individual in the household. Police further indicated that the mother filmed her child during these painful episodes, which she showcased on social media to appeal for public donations.
According to reports, the influencer successfully raised A$60,000 (approximately $37,300) through a GoFundMe campaign aimed at garnering financial support, a sum that the crowdfunding platform is now attempting to refund.
Detective Inspector Paul Dalton condemned the alleged actions, claiming that there are "no words for how repulsive offences of this nature are." While the police considered other possible suspects in the case, they found no evidence of involvement from anyone else. The influencer is expected to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Friday, facing serious allegations that have shocked the community.
