THIS is the chilling moment a TikTok influencer was arrested for allegedly poisoning and torturing her baby daughter to receive donations and boost online followers. Footage shows the 34-year-old Aussie mum crying as cops put handcuffs on her before bundling the social media personality in a police car.
The Queensland woman has been charged with child exploitation after "administering poison with intent to harm". She is also accused of defrauding donors of £30,000 via GoFundMe. The woman is said to have given her child unauthorised prescription and pharmacy medicines to make her sick, according to the cops.
She said had been recording her child's battle with a terminal illness on social media. However, authorities allege that she was instead drugging her one-year-old baby and then filming her while she was in "immense distress and pain". She was first reported by the medical staff during one of the child’s hospital stays in October last year after experiencing "severe emotional and physical distress and harm".
Cops said in a statement: "The woman carefully concealed her continued efforts to administer the unauthorised medicines until the matter was detected and reported to police by medical staff from a hospital in Brisbane’s south while the child was admitted.
“While the child was being subject to immense distress and pain, it is alleged the woman filmed and posted videos of the child.”. They allege the woman ignored medical advice and "went to lengths to obtain unauthorised medicines", which included old medications prescribed to another person in the home.
