In a chilling turn of events, a 34-year-old Australian influencer has been charged with poisoning her one-year-old daughter in a bid to gain social media followers and raise funds through GoFundMe. Authorities from Queensland claim that the mother posed as a caring parent chronicling her child's supposed struggle with a terminal illness, while in reality, she was drugging the infant to film distressing content for her audience.
The investigation began after medical professionals raised concerns regarding the baby’s serious health issues when she was admitted to the hospital with extreme emotional and physical distress. Reports indicate that the woman allegedly administered unauthorized medicines over several weeks, cleverly using leftover medications to conceal her actions.
By the time of the investigation conclusion, it was revealed that she had amassed A$60,000 (about $37,300) in donations, which GoFundMe is now working to return. With charges including torture and fraud, this disturbing case has shocked the community and raised significant concerns about the ethics of online influence. The accused is scheduled to appear in court soon, facing a future that now hangs in the balance.
