Inquest hears mother was deemed no immediate risk weeks before daughter died
Summary
A Brisbane inquest heard that Kerrie Struhs was assessed as posing no immediate risk to others three weeks before her eight-year-old daughter Elizabeth died of untreated diabetes; The Guardian reports that the correctional services officer lacked access to Kerrie’s past offending history. ABC News reports that the inquest heard details of Kerrie’s meeting with a probation officer less than a month before Elizabeth’s 2022 death and that Kerrie trusted God would heal her. This follows earlier inquest reports that doctors recommended an involuntary mental health assessment for Kerrie and that a child safety officer assessed Elizabeth as safe a day after she was admitted to hospital in a coma.
