Montreal mother charged in abandonment case to continue psychiatric evaluation

A 34-year-old Montreal mother charged with abandoning her three-year-old daughter in an Ontario field will continue psychiatric evaluation after a recent court hearing.
The evaluation was ordered 30 days ago but remains incomplete as the girl was reported missing four days before police found her alive on June 18 near a major Ontario highway.
During a hearing west of Montreal, Judge Mylène Grégoire directed the woman to stay at a Montreal psychiatric hospital for the ongoing assessment while protecting the child's identity by court-imposed publication ban.
The accused is charged with two offenses related to criminal negligence resulting in injury and with unlawfully leaving a child behind, and is scheduled to appear in court again on September 8, 2025.
The continuing psychiatric evaluation and legal proceedings reflect unresolved questions about the mother's state and responsibility in the child's abandonment case.
