A mother has been charged with murder over the death of her son in NSW.<\/p>\n
The 32-year-old woman presented to a Wyong police station, and their conversation prompted \u201cgenuine concern\u201d for a four-year-old boy, police said.<\/p>\n
The boy\u2019s body was then found in a unit on Byron St at Wyong, on the NSW Central Coast, about 4.40pm on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The woman, who was still at the police station, was arrested.<\/p>\n
The mother faced court on Sunday charged with domestic violence murder, and will undergo a mental health assessment.<\/p>\n
She has also applied for a supression order.<\/p>\n
Police described the crime scene as \u201cconfronting for all\u201d and have activated their welfare proceedures for first responders.<\/p>\n
A Department of Communities and Justice spokesperson confirmed it \u201chad previous contact with the family and is currently examining all relevant records and information relating to this matter.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGiven the matter remains the subject of an active NSW Police investigation, it would not be appropriate to comment further at this stage.\u201d<\/p>\n
