A 34-year-old woman has been accused of administering poison to a child with intent to harm, as well as making child exploitation material and committing fraud. Authorities claim she used unauthorized medications to induce medical distress in the child. The woman allegedly photographed and filmed the child's pain to solicit funds online. The charges she is facing can carry sentences of between 5 and 20 years of imprisonment.

    1. There is no excuse for hurting a child, particularly one so young, that is totally dependent on adults to care for and love … them.
    2. We believe the person we have charged administered these drugs to increase her social media profile and obtain a financial benefit.
    3. There are no words to describe ... just how repulsive offenses of this nature are.
    4. We'll be alleging that the person has done what she's done in defiance of medical opinion.
    5. It will be further alleged the woman, disregarding medical advice, went to lengths to obtain unauthorised medicines, including old medicines for a different person available in their home.
    6. We will do everything in our power to remove that child from harm's way and hold any offender to account.
    7. There is no excuse for harming a child, especially not a one-year-old infant who is reliant on others for care and survival.
    8. I think the worst thing that could happen would be if as a society, we lose our generous Aussie nature where we dig in and help our mates out, because of one bad incident.
    9. The hospital staff must be extremely distressed and anxious about what happened here, and they've done nothing wrong at all.

    1. There is some publicity with regards to this matter and I am concerned with regard to the safety of my client.
