Nine News reported.<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019m prepared to say publicly at the moment, it was an extremely confronting scene. It\u2019s been confirmed the child had injuries. I am not going to speculate further on what those injuries are,\u201d Superintendent Chad Gillies of Tuggerah Lakes Police told a press conference Sunday morning.<\/p>\n
The mother, who has not been identified, was arrested at the police station and charged with murder and domestic violence on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Police and emergency services who were at the disturbing scene are receiving support, Gillies said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a confronting scene for even the most experienced police and ambulance, and that\u2019s why we need to support them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The crime has stunned Wyong, a quiet coastal town where neighbors said they had seen no signs of any trouble.<\/p>\n
The mom walked into the Wyong Police Station north of Sydney in Australia, prompting cops to go to the home. ABC News Australia<\/p>\n
\u201c[The boy] was all happy, seen him walking the dog and walking up and down the street. He was very energetic,\u201d said a neighbor who previously worked on the mom\u2019s car.<\/p>\n
\u201c[The boy] goes, \u2018Oh, you\u2019re working on mom\u2019s car, has she broken it again?\u2019 He was happy. We couldn\u2019t see signs of anything,\u201d added the neighbor, who didn\u2019t want to be named.<\/p>\n
The mom and son had moved into the rental home earlier this year after an alleged domestic-violence incident between the woman and an ex-partner, another neighbor said.<\/p>\n
The mom was denied bail after failing to appear in court Sunday.<\/p>\n
She is due back in court in Wyong on Sept. 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A mom in Australia is being investigated for possible cannibalism after her 4-year-old son was found dead with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":287719,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[4582,57274,303,9,11,10,1076],"class_list":["post-287718","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-australia","tag-cannibalism","tag-crime","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-world-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287718","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=287718"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287718\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/287719"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=287718"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=287718"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=287718"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
