She reportedly documented the child\u2019s supposed medical struggles on social media, sharing distressing videos of the infant to gain sympathy and financial support. The scheme came to light when medical staff at a Brisbane hospital raised concerns in October after the child was admitted in severe distress. Subsequent tests revealed the presence of unauthorized substances in the child\u2019s system.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4729\" src=\"https:\/\/mgdmedia.live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-11-28-at-13.35.32_bd5834ef.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"144\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Investigations uncovered that the influencer had raised over A$60,000 (\u00a330,500; $37,300) through a GoFundMe campaign under the guise of covering her daughter\u2019s medical expenses. GoFundMe has since frozen the funds and is cooperating with authorities in the ongoing investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Queensland Police Detective Inspector Paul Dalton condemned the alleged acts as \u201cabhorrent,\u201d emphasizing the importance of protecting vulnerable children and holding perpetrators accountable.<\/p>\n<p>The influencer has been charged with offenses including administering poison with intent to harm, creating child exploitation material, and fraud. She is set to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Friday. Meanwhile, the child has been placed under protective care to ensure her safety.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4709\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4709\" style=\"width: 1080px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4709\" src=\"https:\/\/mgdmedia.live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-11-28-at-13.36.25_4ef32859.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"868\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mgdmediaug.live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-11-28-at-13.36.25_4ef32859.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/mgdmediaug.live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-11-28-at-13.36.25_4ef32859-300x241.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mgdmediaug.live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-11-28-at-13.36.25_4ef32859-1024x823.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mgdmediaug.live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-11-28-at-13.36.25_4ef32859-768x617.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mgdmediaug.live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-11-28-at-13.36.25_4ef32859-860x691.jpg 860w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4709\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">https:\/\/www.lugonyolasafaris.com1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Nakiwala Barbra A 34-year-old social media influencer from Queensland\u2019s Sunshine Coast has been arrested and charged with multiple serious offenses, including torture, fraud, and administering poison, after allegedly harming her one-year-old daughter to attract online followers and solicit financial donations.
