13 Sept 09:46 Key points summarised by AI

Two young children were hospitalized with severe digestive issues, confirmed by doctors to be from ingesting a corrosive substance, not a natural illness.
The 4-year-old girl tragically died, and doctors grew suspicious of the mother, Mae Pook, after the 2-year-old boy's condition failed to respond normally to treatment, leading to restrictions on her visits.
Mae Pook is accused of exploiting her sick children by posting their images online to solicit donations and sell products, amassing approximately 20 million baht.
She has been arrested and charged with attempted murder, exploiting children for ill-gotten gain, and public fraud related to an alleged online trading scam.
