flag A New Zealand mother faces trial for allegedly harming her sick child by contaminating medical tubes, causing repeated life-threatening infections.

flag A New Zealand mother is on trial in Nelson’s High Court facing seven charges of medical child abuse, accused of deliberately harming her medically fragile child over 19 months by tampering with feeding tubes and central lines, allegedly causing life-threatening sepsis through repeated contamination. flag Prosecutors argue the pattern of severe, recurring infections—marked by diverse bacteria—was likely intentional, citing expert testimony and the child’s hospitalizations across multiple facilities. flag The mother, whose identity is protected, denies all charges, with her defense emphasizing the child’s extreme vulnerability and questioning whether the evidence proves intent. flag The trial, expected to last six weeks, involves 58 witnesses and centers on whether the mother’s actions were malicious or misinterpreted.
