Mummy blogger accused of faking her baby’s brain tumour breaks silence and reveals her next move

An Australian mummy blogger has hit back at ‘unfair’ accusations that she drugged her baby and is now consulting with lawyers about what to do next.

The mother of four, who cannot be named to protect the child’s identity, was accused of faking her one-year-old daughter’s brain tumor by drugging her.

A GoFundMe was launched to help cover medical costs. More than $60,000 was raised in June before it was frozen by authorities in light of the allegations.

The woman strongly denied harming her daughter, but said she could no longer talk about the situation while police investigated.

“It’s so unfair and it’s currently being addressed with the appropriate attorney,” she said when contacted by one Nine news reporter on the phone.

‘I can’t talk too much. I will have my lawyer contact you.

‘I can’t talk to you. I said this is an issue that cannot be discussed.”

Queensland Police have not yet laid any charges or made any arrests in their investigation.

Hospital staff are said to have raised the alarm after the mother’s online updates about the child’s surgery did not match her actual treatment.

The baby was placed in foster care on October 21 and is said to be recovering.

Detectives from the Queensland Police Service’s Morningside Child Protection and Investigation Unit are leading the investigation into reports of ‘child harm’.

South Brisbane District Chief Inspector Andrew Pilotto said the investigation would be “lengthy and complex”.

“It is long and complicated, and it will take some time, but I can assure you that the child is safe while the investigation is ongoing,” he said.

“I can’t go into the methodology of why that will take time, but it will take some time.”

A GoFundMe spokesperson said the website is also investigating the allegations.

“Our Trust and Safety specialists are investigating the allegations as part of our standard due diligence process,” the spokesperson said.

‘This also includes cooperating with police investigations.

“We strive to be the safest place to give and have spent more than a decade building the teams, technologies and policies to protect Australian generosity.

“This includes the GoFundMe Giving Guarantee, which guarantees a refund in the rare event that something goes wrong.

“No further funds can be raised or withdrawn while the investigation is ongoing.”

It comes as the woman’s estranged husband, the child’s father, has also publicly accused her of drugging the child.

People have been suspicious of the mother’s intentions for months

He claimed to have no idea what was allegedly going on and believed that surgery would help his child’s non-cancerous tumors and seizures.

“For what it’s worth, I had no idea what [the mother] was doing [the child]the devastated father said in a social media post on Monday.

‘I pushed for those operations because I felt deep in my heart that it would help.

‘I didn’t know [the child] was [allegedly] she was drugged the whole time which kept her symptoms as they were.

‘I do my best to love and protect my children. I should have done better for them. I’m sorry I couldn’t protect [the child] as I should have done.”

The couple was previously active on multiple social media platforms, but their accounts are no longer updated.

On Tuesday, Queensland Police confirmed their investigation in a statement to Daily Mail Australia, but no charges have been laid.

“The police are aware of reports of child abuse against a one-year-old girl,” the police said.

“Queensland Police have taken action to protect the child and have commenced an investigation.

“As this is an active investigation, it would be inappropriate to comment further.”

Daily Mail Australia has contacted both parents for comment.
