On March 5, a boy was taken to Queensland Children’s Hospital in an unresponsive state. Medical examinations indicated that the child had sustained severe injuries, which were believed to be the result of ongoing physical abuse. As a consequence, the boy was removed from the custody of a 27-year-old man and a 26-year-old woman. A man from Forest Lake, aged 27, has since been charged with three counts of assault causing bodily harm along with one charge of torture. He has been denied bail and is scheduled to appear in court today.
