Wednesday, June 8, 2026 - A little boy, who was allegedly k!lled and partly eaten by his mother, was referred to authorities three times over concerns his mother had drug-induced psychosis, new reports claim.
The 32-year-old woman, who can't be identified for legal
reasons, approached police in Wyong on the NSW Central Coast on Saturday,
July 4, and allegedly told them she had consumed parts of her four-year-old
son.
Police went to their one-bedroom community housing unit on
Byron Street and found the boy de@d with significant arm injuries.
It's understood he was de@d for several days before the
alarm was raised.
Police could still be seen at the crime scene on Monday,
July 6, two days after her arrest.
The apartment building remained cordoned off.
Soft toys and cards for the little boy were left at the
front door and at the top of the driveway.
According to court documents, police will allege the mother k!lled her son between 4pm and 5pm on July 4.
She was charged with murd£r and appeared in Bail Court on
Saturday, July 4, where bail was formally refused.
Her matter is back in Wyong Local Court on September
1.
The mother and son moved to the area five months ago to
escape domestic violence, but Department of Communities and Justice
(DCJ) workers had been communicating with the family for at least a year
prior.
The most recent was last January when case workers assessed
whether the boy, who was a toddler at the time, was at risk of serious neglect
due to his mother's suspected substance abuse.
However, there was not enough evidence about her alleged
drug and alcohol abuse and he was allowed to stay with her until his
d£ath.
