A child safety officer incorrectly assessed Elizabeth Struhs as “safe” two days after she arrived at hospital in a coma and nearly died due to the neglect of her parents, a coroner’s court has heard.
A Queensland coronial inquest heard evidence on Wednesday from one of the two child safety officers who ultimately decided to return the then six-year-old, who had type 1 diabetes, to the care of her parents at their home in Toowoomba.
