Inquest: Doctors urged involuntary mental health assessment for mother in Queensland diabetes death

An inquest into the death of eight-year-old Elizabeth Struhs, who died after her religious parents withheld insulin, heard that doctors recommended an involuntary mental health assessment for her mother, Kerrie Struhs, due to delusional beliefs that God would heal her. Child safety officers returned the child home despite these objections. The case highlights systemic failures in child protection and medical oversight.
