A mom in Australia is being investigated for possible cannibalism after her 4-year-old son was found dead with a mutilated arm.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old woman showed up at a police station in the town of Wyong, north of Sydney, on Saturday, leading police to conduct a welfare check at her house,\u00a0reported the Sydney Morning Herald.<\/p>\n

There, the officers found the body of a young boy with significant arm injuries \u2014 in a scene so grisly that first responders need support services, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Officers are investigating the possibility of cannibalism in the boy\u2019s death after \u201cdiscussions\u201d with the mom, the SMH reported.<\/p>\n

The child may have been dead for days, Nine News reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m prepared to say publicly at the moment, it was an extremely confronting scene. It\u2019s been confirmed the child had injuries. I am not going to speculate further on what those injuries are,\u201d Superintendent Chad Gillies of Tuggerah Lakes Police told a press conference Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

The mother, who has not been identified, was arrested at the police station and charged with murder and domestic violence on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Cops also seized her car along with other evidence.<\/p>\n

Police and emergency services who were at the disturbing scene are receiving support, Gillies said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a confronting scene for even the most experienced police and ambulance, and that\u2019s why we need to support them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The crime has stunned Wyong, a quiet coastal town where neighbors said they had seen no signs of any trouble.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201c[The boy] was all happy, seen him walking the dog and walking up and down the street. He was very energetic,\u201d said a neighbor who previously worked on the mom\u2019s car.<\/p>\n

\u201c[The boy] goes, \u2018Oh, you\u2019re working on mom\u2019s car, has she broken it again?\u2019 He was happy. We couldn\u2019t see signs of anything,\u201d added the neighbor, who didn\u2019t want to be named.<\/p>\n

The mom and son had moved into the rental home earlier this year after an alleged domestic-violence incident between the woman and an ex-partner, another neighbor said.<\/p>\n
