Washington (dbTechno) - A Pennsylvania mother who is accused of trying to poison her 4-month-old son by injecting him with salt water has been sent to a state mental hospital.
According to reports, it has been confirmed that the mother, 21-year old Amber Brewington from Duck River, Tennessee, suffers from severe depression.
She appeared in court on Thursday over a video feed to take part in a hearing.
She was sentenced by Allegheny County Judge Jeffrey Manning to go to the Mayview State Hospital for at least 90 days.
