Inquest: Doctors urged involuntary mental health assessment for mother in Queensland diabetes death
Guardian WorldSRC LO·AU·about 12 hours ago
A Queensland coronial inquest heard that a child safety officer incorrectly assessed six-year-old Elizabeth Struhs as 'safe' one day after she was hospitalized in a coma due to parental neglect of her type 1 diabetes. The case was deemed complex, and the officer ultimately returned her to her parents' care in Toowoomba. This is part of an ongoing inquest into the girl's death, highlighting systemic failures in child protection.
