A Floreat couple, who allegedly lived in squalor inside their multimillion-dollar mansion, were last week found guilty of mistreating their severely underweight daughter.
The article from The Sydney Morning Herald discusses the high-profile trial in Perth involving a mother, known as "Starvation Mum," who was convicted of the manslaughter of her three-year-old daughter, who died from starvation. The trial revealed disturbing details about the neglect and abuse within the household, where the children were subjected to extreme conditions, including being locked in a room and denied food. The mother's defense argued mental health issues and domestic violence as mitigating factors, but the prosecution painted a picture of deliberate cruelty. The case has gripped the public's attention due to its harrowing nature, the involvement of child welfare services, and the broader implications for child protection policies in Western Australia.
