Here is what the page “Elizabeth Struhs inquest: Doctor warned diabetic girl 'not safe at home' years before Toow” contains. A coronial inquest into the death of eight-year-old Elizabeth Struhs has heard that a Queensland Children's Hospital specialist warned years earlier that the diabetic girl would not be safe at home with her mother. Elizabeth died from diabetic ketoacidosis on 7 January 2022 at her family home in Toowoomba after her parents and other members of a religious sect called the Saints withdrew her insulin and prayed over her for days. Fourteen members of the sect, including her parents, were found guilty of her manslaughter.
The inquest will examine how the health system and authorities responded to concerns about Elizabeth's welfare before her death. The case has raised serious questions about the balance between religious freedom and child protection, and whether more could have been done to prevent the tragedy.
