Lawyer argues woman who killed son should see her other children

A mother, diagnosed with schizophrenia, who fatally stabbed her one-year-old son during a psychotic episode, is under review by the Criminal Code Review Board of Manitoba to determine visitation rights with her other children. Her lawyer argues that her stabilized condition warrants contact with her children as part of her recovery, while the Crown seeks to restrict contact due to safety concerns and the risk of reoffending. A psychiatrist indicated that she is responsive to treatment but still experiences some symptoms, with recommendations for her to attend addiction programming and avoid weapons. The board is expected to issue a decision soon, outlining conditions for her freedom.
