VANGUARD
A mother has been charged with poisoning her one-year-old baby girl and posting video of the infant’s distress to get online GoFundMe donations.
The 34-year-old woman allegedly went to “great lengths” to conceal that she was giving prescription and pharmacy drugs to the baby without medical approval.
Queensland, Australia, detective inspector Paul Dalton revealed this to reporters.
Hospital staff in the Queensland capital Brisbane alerted police to their suspicions in October last year when the girl was there for treatment of a serious mental condition, Dalton said.
Police took “immediate action” to protect the baby and launched an investigation, he said.
