The accusations surfaced after medical professionals raised concerns when the baby was admitted to the hospital last October, suffering a serious medical episode. Authorities conducted a thorough investigation over several months, which culminated in the woman being charged with charges including torture, administering poison, creating child exploitation material, and fraud. Detectives revealed that between August and October, the suspect reportedly administered multiple prescription medications to the child without any medical consent.

Moreover, it was alleged that the mother went to great lengths to obtain unauthorized medications and conceal her actions, even utilizing leftover medication from another person in her residence. The investigation began on October 15, following the child’s alarming hospital visit showcasing signs of severe emotional and physical distress. Subsequent tests conducted later identified unauthorized substances in the child’s system.

In her attempts to capitalize on the fabricated narrative, the influencer purportedly raised A$60,000 (approximately £30,500 or $37,300) through GoFundMe, a platform that is currently working to reimburse donors. Although police investigated several individuals regarding the alleged maltreatment, authorities reported insufficient evidence to charge anyone else. The woman is scheduled to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Friday as the investigation continues.
