Doctor warned Elizabeth Struhs unsafe at home before sect killed her
Original: Doctor warned Elizabeth Struhs would not be safe at home years before religious sect killed her by withdrawing medicine
An inquest heard that a doctor warned authorities years before eight-year-old Elizabeth Struhs died that she would not be safe if returned home. The Australian girl, a type 1 diabetic, died in 2022 in Toowoomba, Queensland, after members of a religious group allegedly withheld her insulin for days while believing prayer would heal her. The testimony has reignited scrutiny of child protection failures.
Why now: The inquest is releasing new testimony showing authorities were warned before her death, renewing public anger over the child protection failures.
