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 Australian mum crying as cops put handcuffs on her before bundling the social media personality into 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 had reportedly 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’.
The mum is now under police custody and is expected to appear before Brisbane Magistrates Court on Friday, Jan. 17.
Cops claim the child would have become ‘gravely ill’ and ‘could have died’ if she had stayed in the accused’s care.
