| The little girl who was sickened by her own mother |
(Scroll down for video) A woman was arrested and charged with aggravated child abuse related charges after giving her healthy daughter anticancer medication which nearly killed her, according to court proceedings in Australia.
The Gold Coast area mother, who allegedly poisoned her four-year-old daughter with chemotherapy drugs, will remain in custody as the case progresses in court.
The woman, 22, was charged with grievous bodily harm last month, while her daughter battled serious illness in the Royal Brisbane Children's Hospital.
Police have charged the woman for giving her daughter anticancer drugs over a period of 10 months after purchasing the drugs on the Internet.
She chronicled the non-existent illness of her daughter on a facebook page to over 7,000 of her followers as her daughter suffered numerous procedures in the hospital to try to determine the cause of her illness.
Police now believe that it was the mother of the girl who caused the illness.
The mother was arrested after a joint investigation by the South Eastern Region investigation unit and the State Crime Operation Command's Child Safety and Sexual Crime Group.
She has been charged with causing grievous bodily harm to her daughter.
“What a sick woman. I believe that this woman will justify her actions in some demented way. Hopefully, the court will not allow her to have any additional children,” Gina Kelley, 22, of Melbourne, Australia told YourJewishNews.com after being asked to comment on the mother who poisoned her healthy child.
The matter was heard briefly in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday, and Crown prosecutors requested an adjournment to properly analyze additional blood tests.Mobile video not loading? Click here to view
