You know, after being on WS for a couple of years, I often think I am ’unshockable’. Then I read something like this.

It's gross I read parts of a QCAT tribunal thing someone has public and it's really sad these kids were screaming for intervention and it was missed. She is so evil

Here is an article about the doctor suspecting her more than 20 years ago - he filed a formal report - makes me wonder if this is why she moved from NSW to Queensland.

.... a NSW pediatrician had formally raised suspicions more than 20 years ago that Ms Crabtree’s daughter was the victim of Munchausen syndrome by proxy.

Michael Ryan from Sydney’s Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children raised the suspicions in a 1997 report for the St George Community Service Centre, The Australian revealed yesterday.

Police say it shows Ms Crabtree was suspected back then of fabricating her daughter’s illnesses.

Munchausen by proxy, now known as factitious disorder by another, is the term applied when caregivers induce, exaggerate or fabricate illnesses of those in their care.

Queensland opposition health spokeswoman Ros Bates yesterday said the case “highlighted systemic issues within our health system”.

“It shows why it’s critical that government departments, both within states and across borders, talk to one another and share information when issues are identified,” she said.

Here is another one ....

In this one it also says that the daughter had a feeding tube inserted into her stomach (for an oesophagus allergy), and that her mother convinced doctors to prescribe oxycodone, for pain .. the daughter became dependent on it. It was also the drug that was used to murder her other two children.

After leaving her mother's influence the girl now eats normally and only ever needs Panadol for pain.

A NSW doctor formally raised suspicions more than 20 years ago that a daughter of Maree Crabtree — charged last week with murdering two of her adult children and torturing a third — was *repeatedly being admitted to hospital with fake or exaggerated illnesses.

Michael Ryan from Sydney’s Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children wrote a report in 1997 suggesting Ms Crabtree’s then five-year-old daughter might be the victim of Munchausen syndrome by proxy, police say.

Ms Crabtree’s daughter had been in and out of hospital since birth and Dr Ryan’s report, prepared for the St George Community Services Centre, raised concerns that the girl could be going through undue testing, procedures and hospitalisation.

Police now accuse Ms Crabtree of the prolonged poisoning and physical and mental abuse of the same daughter, 25.

Ms Crabtree had kept the daughter under her complete control, dictating her finances, *social life, day-to-day living and medication, police will say.

As a result, the daughter allegedly underwent years of extreme medical interventions that she did not need.

Gold Coast mother's alleged murder attempts on son aired in court

Maree Mavis Crabtree allegedly fed her son a lethal cocktail of prescription drugs in a fruit smoothie in 2017 and attempted to gain access to his finances after his death.

www.abc.net.au

Maree Mavis Crabtree pleaded not guilty to the murder and attempted murder of her son Jonathan Crabtree, as well as attempted fraud, in Brisbane's Supreme Court on Monday.

Crown prosecutor Phillip McCarthy KC said Tara Crabtree, Ms Crabtree's daughter and Jonathan's sister, will tell the court about how the mother allegedly used a blender to mix prescription opioid drugs and fruit — while Tara kept watch — at their Maudsland home on July 18, 2017.

 

[imstilla.grandma]

The jury was told Mrs Crabtree had also told friends on several occasions she'd wished her son had died in the car crash in 2015 because he'd become a burden on the family.

Mr McCarthy said Mrs Crabtree would had 'significant financial reasons to end her son's life' because Mr Crabtree was 'difficult to live with' and 'her son was violent'.

The jury was told she was also concerned they would lose the family home and about the likelihood Mr Crabtree would be sued by the victims of the armed robbery
