A lawyer for a 34-year-old Queensland social media influencer, accused of torturing her baby daughter to boost her online presence, has requested protective custody due to concerns over the influencer’s safety. The woman was charged with multiple counts of administering poison, torture, and child exploitation after allegedly giving her daughter medication without medical approval between August and October last year. She is also accused of defrauding donors out of $60,000 through a crowdfunding campaign. Her lawyer has asked for CCTV footage and another recording to be disclosed ahead of a bail application later this month. The woman was remanded in custody and will return to court in late January.
