1:30Now PlayingA Quebec judge has declared a woman charged with leaving her toddler in an Ontario field in June not criminally responsible due to a mental disorder.
The three-year-old girl was the subject of an intensive search when she was reported missing in June. She was found alive three days later on the side of a highway in Ontario, about 150 kilometres from where she had last been seen in Quebec.
The woman, who cannot be identified due to a publication ban protecting her daughter, faced charges of child abandonment and criminal negligence causing bodily harm.
The judge will now have to determine if the mother should remain in a psychiatric hospital or be released — with or without conditions.
