A mother accused of faking her six-year-old son’s cancer diagnosis, including shaving his head and eyebrows to raise money for bogus treatment, will spend Christmas behind bars after being refused bail.

The woman and her husband, both aged 44, appeared in Port Adelaide Magistrates Court on Dec. 13, each charged with one aggravated count of committing an act likely to cause harm, which carries a maximum sentence of seven years in jail.
