Couple who begged for public’s help to diagnose their daughter’s mystery illness have told of their shock at finding themselves at the centre of a child abuse probe

A CONCERNED couple who begged for the public’s help to diagnose their daughter’s mystery illness have told of their shock after finding themselves at the centre of a child abuse probe.

Mum Danielle Reid, 27, was stunned when she received a call on Friday afternoon from social services telling her she was being investigated.

This came just two weeks after she set up a Go Fund Me page asking for donations so she can pay a private specialist to help diagnose her daughter Tamzyn Seeley.

Tamzyn, 20 months, suffers from a rare and so far undiagnosed condition.

She has numerous allergies and is violently sick, bringing up harmful stomach acid, whenever she eats virtually any food.

Her neck, feet, hands, and face also swell up double their normal size during a reaction.

The stomach acid causes extreme heartburn and makes Tamzyn's daily life a struggle, according to her mum.

Doctors have tried to combat this but it backfired in June 2015 when she reacted so violently after taking medication that her skin went bright red and it burnt her insides.

This has led doctors to a dead end and Tamzyn's family feel they have given up trying to find out what is wrong with her.

Feeling failed by the NHS Danielle launched the appeal but she was shocked to learn several people who saw it had contacted social services to voice concerns over Tamzyn's welfare.
