A 34-year-old Australian woman has been charged with multiple offenses, including poisoning her one-year-old daughter and posting videos of the child's distress online to solicit donations. The woman allegedly administered unauthorized medications to the infant without medical approval, leading to hospital staff reporting their concerns, which prompted police intervention. Queensland Police stated the woman raised over 60,000 Australian dollars (approximately $37,000) through fraudulent online campaigns. She has been charged with a total of 11 offenses, including torture and fraud, and is scheduled to appear in court. Detective Inspector Paul Dalton condemned the alleged actions, emphasizing the gravity of such offenses against vulnerable children.
