The mother accused of abandoning her three-year-old daughter in a field near a highway in Ontario burst into tears on Friday as a judge told her she was being denied bail.
The 34-year-old woman, whose name is under a publication ban to protect the girl’s identity, was ordered to undergo a 30-day psychiatric evaluation at a hospital in the Montreal region.
