Aneshia Daisy Case, 23, did not appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court when her matter was mentioned today, four months after her three-year-old son Caden died at a police station.<\/p>\n

Case and the boy’s father Samuel Ian Paterson, 24, have both been charged with manslaughter and drug trafficking following Caden’s death.<\/p>\n

\"\"\/Caden Case died in the foyer of Beenleigh Police Station. (Nine)<\/p>\n

Their son was critically injured after the family’s white Mazda veered off the road and crashed in bushland north of the Gold Coast on October 25.<\/p>\n

A witness saw the car swerve off the road, before rushing the mother and Caden to Beenleigh Police Station.<\/p>\n

Officers at the station attempted CPR but the boy who suffered critical head injuries couldn’t be saved, police said.<\/p>\n

Paterson is accused of fleeing the accident and later being found at a nearby address with a one-year-old boy who was uninjured in the crash.<\/p>\n

Police will allege Case was behind the wheel at the time of the accident but have refused to comment on the fatal crash’s cause, saying the investigation was “extremely complex”.<\/p>\n

Case was not required to appear when her matter was mentioned today.<\/p>\n

Magistrate Julian Noud was told by Case’s solicitor Skye O’Dwyer that there would be no bail application.<\/p>\n

\"\"\/Samuel Ian Paterson has been charged. (Nine)<\/p>\n

Case was also charged with driving without a licence, possession of anything used in a crime and drug trafficking.<\/p>\n

Some of Case’s charges arose from the Beenleigh jurisdiction and others from Southport, Ms O’Dwyer said.<\/p>\n

“It may be prudent to split them at this early stage,” she said, with the police prosecutor consenting.<\/p>\n

Police earlier alleged the mother and children had travelled from the Gold Coast to collect the father from a Beenleigh address before the crash.<\/p>\n

Detective Acting Inspector Kent Ellis earlier told reporters the investigation had involved a forensic reconstruction of the crash and analysis of physical evidence along with CCTV footage.<\/p>\n

“Determining who was driving at the time of impact required an extensive amount of investigative work,” he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Noud ordered Case’s manslaughter and unlicensed driving charges be next mentioned at Beenleigh on March 9.<\/p>\n

Case was remanded in custody and excused from appearing in person on her next court date.<\/p>\n

Her drug trafficking and another charge were moved to Southport.<\/p>\n

Paterson has been in custody since the crash after facing separate charges.<\/p>\n

He was remanded in custody to seek legal representation ahead of his next court appearance on March 30.<\/p>\n

The father was separately charged with domestic violence offences in October, when his emotional family claimed he would never harm his children.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We are sick of the f***ing lies,” the boy’s grandfather yelled at the media after the father’s appearance at Southport Magistrates Court in October.<\/p>\n
