flag A New Zealand mother faces abuse charges over her medically fragile child’s condition, with conflicting testimony on whether the child ate despite medical restrictions.

flag A mother in Nelson, New Zealand, is on trial for allegedly ill-treating her medically fragile child, who had complex intestinal failure and relied on feeding tubes and IV nutrition. flag A relative testified the child was seen eating chicken and searching for food scraps during a family gathering, contradicting claims the child couldn’t eat orally. flag The mother, facing seven charges including infecting the child with disease, denies abuse, saying her actions were driven by desperation to manage severe medical needs. flag Nurses described unexplained incidents like severed central lines and disconnected tubes, while the defense maintains the events resulted from the child’s rare condition and complex care, not intentional harm. flag The trial continues.
