Overview

  • Prosecutors told the Brisbane Magistrates Court on June 23 that an interim report detected the defendant’s DNA on a pill seized from her hospitalized daughter
  • The infant, diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis complex, experienced unexplained seizures that prosecutors say were induced by unauthorized drugs
  • Queensland Police allege the 34-year-old mother administered prescription and pharmacy medications between August and October 2024 to boost her social media following and collect about $60,000 in donations
  • She faces multiple charges including administering poison with intent to harm, torture, creating child exploitation material and fraud
  • Deputy Chief Magistrate Anthony Gett adjourned the case to August so defense lawyer Mathew Cuskelly and his medical assistant can scrutinize the voluminous evidence
