A 12-year-old girl with a disability died in 2022 after years of alleged neglect, sparking concerns over child protection and disability support failures.
Tiffani Scholten, a 12-year-old with a disability, died in 2022 weighing just seven kilograms, far below average, after years of alleged neglect.
Court documents show she received no consistent medical care since 2014, stopped attending school in 2021, and relied on teachers for food, clothing, and hygiene.
Over $109,000 in NDIS funds were approved for her, though she accessed few services.
Her mother, Carrissa Scholten, claimed Tiffani died from a seizure, but no autopsy was confirmed.
Scholten’s father died the day after her statement and was cremated within days.
No fraud charges were filed, and her legal team said misuse of funds was not part of the murder charge.
The case has raised concerns about child protection and disability support failures.
