An Australian influencer has been charged with poisoning her one-year-old daughter to gain financial support and increase her online following. The 34-year-old woman from Queensland allegedly documented her child's supposed battle with a terminal illness on social media while secretly drugging her. The investigation began after doctors raised concerns when the baby was hospitalized in October due to severe distress. Following months of inquiry, police charged the woman with multiple offenses, including torture and fraud, after discovering she had administered unauthorized medications to the child. It is reported that she raised approximately A$60,000 through GoFundMe, which the platform is now working to refund. The woman is scheduled to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court. Queensland Police have stated that the nature of the alleged crimes is particularly heinous, and while other individuals were investigated, no additional charges have been made.
