The six-year-old’s mother and father allegedly shaved his head and eyebrows and placed him in a wheelchair to raise $60,000 for bogus treatment.
A mother accused of faking her six-year-old son’s cancer diagnosis, including shaving his head and eyebrows to raise money for bogus treatment, will spend Christmas behind bars after being refused bail.
The Adelaide couple had allegedly been requesting donations through an online fundraising page and the child’s school. She was open to considering another bail application early in the new year and ordered a home detention report for the mother, who will return to court on January 6.Advertisement The boy’s mother will spend Christmas behind bars after being refused bail. His father is also in custody.“It’s abhorrent that people would seek to profit for their own personal greed and selfishness from such an insidious condition such as cancer which impacts so many families in our community,” he said.
“It will be alleged that the accused shaved their six-year-old child’s head, eyebrows and placed them in a wheelchair with bandages to imitate stereotactic radiotherapy treatment,” he said.
