A woman has been charged with murder after a 20-month-old foster baby in her care was found dead with a broken leg and a bruised face.
The 40-year-old carer was arrested over the Aboriginal toddler's death back in 2015.
According to the Daily Telegraph, the child had a broken femur
and multiple bruises on his face at the time of his death.
The child's biological mother told the paper she's desperate for answers after being "left in the dark" by officials.
"We didn't even get to see him until three weeks after he died."
