Child Protection and Investigation Unit (CPIU) detectives arrested the woman at an Underwood house on Thursday morning

A high-profile mum  has been charged with the torture of a one-year-old girl, allegedly posting videos of the results in a bid to get donations and online followers.

Queensland Police allege a 34-year-old Sunshine Coast woman gave several unauthorised prescription medicines to the child.

The alleged abuse was detected when the child was admitted to a hospital in Brisbane’s south and was reported to police 

‘While the child was being subject to immense distress and pain, it is alleged the woman filmed and posted videos of the child,’ Queensland Police said. 

‘It is alleged the content produced exploited the child and was used to entice monetary donations and online followers.’

Child Protection and Investigation Unit (CPIU) detectives arrested the woman at an Underwood house on Thursday morning. 

She was charged with five counts of administering poison with intent to harm, three counts of preparation to commit crimes with dangerous things, and one count each of torture, making child exploitation material and fraud. 

Detective Inspector Paul Dalton said offences like the ones alleged were abhorrent.

‘We are too often faced with the worst offences against children,’ he said.

‘We will do everything in our power to remove that child from harm’s way and hold any offender to account.

‘There is no excuse for harming a child, especially not a one-year-old infant who is reliant on others for care and survival.’

The woman is expected to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Friday.
