Video surfaces of high profile TikTok mum, accused of drugging her child, claiming god saved her

A high-profile influencer mother, under police investigation for claims she drugged her one-year-old to fake an illness, had also claimed “god healed her” from a chronic life-threatening illness.

It’s come to light that the high-profile TikTok influencer mother under police investigation for claims she drugged her one-year-old to fake an illness, had claimed “god healed her” from a chronic life-threatening illness five years ago on the Sunshine Coast.

Yesterday, this publication revealed a Queensland woman who documented her infant daughter’s illness on social media platforms is now under investigation by police over claims she was drugging her child.

The family cannot be legally identified due to the age of their children. They are at the centre of an investigation involving Queensland Police, Queensland Health and child protective services.

South Brisbane District Acting Chief Superintendent Andrew Pilotto confirmed the one-year-old girl, who cannot be named, was well and no longer in hospital.

“The child is doing fine at this time,” Superintendent Pilotto said.

Superintendent Pilotto said the police probe was expected to be lengthy.

“It is protracted, and complicated and it will take a bit of time, but I can assure you the child is safe while that investigation unfolds.

“I can’t put a time on (the length of the investigation), certainly not until after Christmas.”

When asked, Superintendent Pilotto did not comment on when the investigation started, or whether the investigation scope would include the mother’s other children.

He could not comment on whether the other children were still in their mother’s care.

The investigation into the mother, who had a large social media following, has caused an eruption of commentary online.

Superintendent Pilotto urged people to think before they commented on posts relating to the investigation.

“I’d certainly like to say to people who use social media to be aware of what you post, you are liable criminally and civilly.

“Certainly understand that things go on social media when maybe not all the info is available, be cautious of what you put and what you read on social media.”

This publication is not suggesting the allegations are true, only that they were made and are now being investigated.

Now it can be revealed the high-profile mother claimed she had stage five kidney disease in 2019 and was waiting for a new kidney.

Despite the grave seriousness of the life-threatening health issue she claimed to have, she claimed she was then “healed” by a Sunshine Coast church.

She even spoke at her church in 2019 telling members her story.

The Sunshine Coast church posted a video of her testimony to Facebook on November 13, 2019. It has since been taken down.

The high-profile mother started by saying she had believed in god for many years but had let her career and business take over her life.

“I felt that since I was working seven days a week, I was too busy for church and for god,” she told the church.

She said working took its toll on her emotionally and physically.

“I took myself to the doctors and was immediately rushed in an ambulance to hospital … I was confused and had no idea what was going on but I was soon diagnosed with stage five chronic kidney disease.”

The mother said she would undergo weekly treatment until they found her a kidney transplant match to “keep her alive”.

“I knew deep down that I couldn’t do this in my own strength and I needed to lean in and trust in god,” she said.

“I started reading my bible and I found strength in God’s words.

“I started attending church and I started loving it so much that I started going to two services a week.

“A fire in my heart has been reignited for God. Then something amazing happened. (A pastor) was asked to pray for someone with kidney pains … I was a little nervous to be on stage but in the moment as (the pastor) prayed I could feel the presence of God working inside me.

“The next day I went to the doctors to get tested and was tested again in hospital the next night and my kidney function had raised from seven per cent to 33 per cent.

“To this day it’s slowly getting better and better each time and I strongly believe that through the healing power of god I will not need to get a kidney transplant.”

The Sunshine Coast mum influencer was a part of a group of Queensland woman who had large online followings.

Since news of the police investigation came to light many of these other high-profile Queensland influencers have taken to their TikTok accounts to share videos saying how outraged they were.

The other high-profile women would often share fundraisers for the mum being investigated by police and updates on her daughter’s health.

This group monetised their content, participated in paid partnerships, and were sent gifts and other opportunities as a result.

Their videos often had millions of views and garnered a great deal of attention online.

Off the back of the police investigation, and following reports made by the Royal Brisbane Children’s Hospital, outraged parents are now proposing adding a rule in a similar vein to Ryan’s Rule, a three-step process that supports patients, families and carers to raise concerns if the health condition of a patient isn’t improving as expected.

“Inspired by Ryan’s Rule, it is a proposal that staff in pediatric hospitals must conduct a toxicology screen on every child presenting with unexplained symptoms, regardless of other information,” an anonymous parent said online.

“This could provide a crucial safeguard that currently does not exist for many hospitals.”
