A mother from Montreal has been charged with child abandonment and criminal negligence after allegedly abandoning her three-year-old daughter in a field near an Ontario highway. The toddler was found in distress, prompting authorities to take the mother into custody. She remains detained pending a bail hearing scheduled for July. The Crown has requested a psychiatric evaluation of the mother. During the bail hearing, the mother testified, and the court ordered her to remain in custody for at least another week. In a related development, a parent has withdrawn their child from a daycare, though it is unclear if this is directly connected to the case.
