# An Australian influencer has been charged with poisoning her baby girl to elicit donations and boost online followers. The Queensland woman claimed she was chronicling her child’s battle with a terminal illness on social media. Doctors raised the alarm in October, when the baby was admitted to hospital. After months of investigation, the 34-year-old woman was charged with torture, administering poison, making child exploitation material and fraud. She raised more than 700-thousand-rand through GoFundMe donations, which the site is attempting to repay. The woman is due in court today.
