Kerrie Struhs judged no immediate risk weeks before daughter Elizabeth's manslaughter, Brisbane inquest hears

A closer look at “Kerrie Struhs judged no immediate risk weeks before daughter Elizabeth's manslaughter, Bri”, exactly as the source publishes it. A Queensland correctional services officer assessed Kerrie Struhs as posing no immediate risk to others three weeks before the death of her eight-year-old daughter Elizabeth, a Brisbane inquest has heard. The officer did not have access to Kerrie Struhs' offending history, which included a 2019 conviction for child neglect after failing to take Elizabeth to hospital for type 1 diabetes. Coroner Ainslie Kirkegaard is investigating the circumstances surrounding Elizabeth's death, which occurred after Kerrie Struhs and others allegedly withheld insulin.

The inquest has previously heard that Elizabeth was nearly dead and in a coma when she was finally taken to hospital in 2019. The risk assessment has raised questions about information sharing within Queensland Corrective Services and the adequacy of supervision for offenders with histories of child neglect.
