SALABERRY-DE-VALLEYFIELD – The 34-year-old Montreal mother charged with allegedly abandoning her daughter in a field near a major Ontario highway will continue to undergo a psychiatric assessment.
A Quebec court judge ordered the evaluation to continue at a Montreal psychiatric hospital during a brief court hearing today west of Montreal.
Judge Mylène Grégoire says the 30-day evaluation ordered a month earlier by another judge hasn’t been completed.
The accused, whose name is subject to a publication ban to protect the young girl’s identity, will remain at the facility and return to court on Sept. 8.
Police found the woman’s three-year-old daughter alive and conscious in a field near a highway in Ontario on June 18, four days after the girl was reported missing.
The woman faces two counts of criminal negligence causing bodily harm and unlawful abandonment of a child.
