Australian Influencer Accused of Poisoning Baby for Donations and Online Fame

A Queensland-based Australian influencer has been charged with the shocking crime of poisoning her infant daughter, allegedly to garner sympathy, boost her online following, and solicit donations.  

 

Authorities allege the 34-year-old woman documented her one-year-old daughter's fabricated battle with a terminal illness on social media, posting videos and updates designed to elicit emotional responses and financial support. Detectives claim she deliberately administered unauthorised medications to her child, resulting in severe distress and pain, which she captured on camera.  

 

The case came to light in October when the baby was admitted to a hospital following a critical medical episode. Concerned doctors reported the situation to authorities, prompting a months-long investigation. Police say tests later confirmed the presence of unauthorised medications in the child's system.  

 

Queensland Police Detective Inspector Paul Dalton described the alleged crimes as "repulsive," stating, “[There are] no words for how repulsive offences of this nature are.”  

 

According to investigators, the woman sourced the unauthorised medications through various means between August and October, including using leftover prescriptions intended for someone else in her household. Police allege she went to great lengths to conceal her actions, raising significant concerns about premeditation.  

 

The woman is accused of raising AUD 60,000 (approximately £30,500 or $37,300) through a GoFundMe campaign. The platform is now working to refund the donations, Det Insp Dalton confirmed.  

 

Authorities also investigated other individuals who might have been involved in the alleged abuse but found no evidence to charge anyone else.  

The woman now faces charges of torture, administering poison, producing child exploitation material, and fraud. She is scheduled to appear before the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Friday.  

 

This deeply troubling case highlights the dangers of exploiting vulnerable individuals, particularly children, for personal gain. As the investigation continues, many are left grappling with the gravity of the allegations and the potential long-term impact on the young child.
