An Australian couple who pleaded guilty to causing their young daughter serious injury after she was found severely malnourished kept the toddler hidden from neighbors, who didn’t even know she existed.

The girl’s mother and father, aged 32 and 34 respectively, pleaded guilty this month and will be sentenced in January 2019. The couple had not been identified, Australian and United Kingdom media reported, citing strict laws in Australia.
