Alana Freiberg, charged with abducting her daughter, has been committed to inpatient mental health treatment.

On the recommendation of a third psychiatrist, after the first two disagreed on her competence to stand trial, the judge ordered Freiberg to spend up to 24 days in an inpatient psychiatric treatment facility. Her husband asked that she be sent to a local hospital so that he and the couple’s daughter could visit.

Her treatment could be extended, and criminal proceedings will be suspended until she is found competent to stand trial.
