Story here. Excerpt:

'Detective-Senior Constable Adam Pawsey told the court that on November 27 the woman allegedly threw her two-year-old daughter against a brick wall more than three times, then punched and kicked her while she lay paralysed on the floor.

She took the child to hospital three days later after force-feeding her soft food because she was unable to feed herself, Det Sen Const Pawsey said.

He said the toddler remained paralysed on her right side and CT scans showed permanent brain damage.
...
The woman's other two children have been placed by the Department of Human Services into the care of relatives but their father has full access, Sgt Pawsey said.

The woman, who is 32 weeks pregnant, is charged with intentionally causing serious injury.'
