A Queensland woman will face court today after being charged with torture for allegedly neglecting a child.
The child in question, a 10-year-old girl, was admitted to the Queensland Children’s Hospital suffering from dehydration, critical malnutrition, and significant untreated injuries.
She remains in intensive care in a stable condition.
Police were notified, beginning an investigation and declaring the child’s Logan Reserve home a crime scene.
The investigations have led to a 40-year-old woman being charged with three counts of failing to supply necessaries and one count of torture.
She will appear at the Beenleigh Magistrates Court today.
