Hunter Valley woman appears in Cessnock court charged with injecting daughter with urine
Updated
A Hunter Valley mother accused of poisoning her nine-year-old daughter with urine injections has appeared in a New South Wales court.
Newcastle's Child Abuse Squad began investigating in March this year after the girl was admitted to hospital with medical issues including life-threatening renal failure.
Police documents tendered to Cessnock Local Court allege the girl's illnesses were caused by the woman injecting her daughter with urine.
The mother is also accused of giving the girl tablets that caused other problems.
She was charged with using poison to endanger her daughter's life, and inflicting grievous bodily harm.
The woman was supported by several family members and friends in court today.
The matter was adjourned to Newcastle Local Court on October 14.
An apprehended violence order has also been taken out on behalf of the child.
