SALABERRY-DE-VALLEYFIELD — The mother who allegedly abandoned her three-year-old daughter in rural Ontario for four days is scheduled to have a bail hearing early next month.

Lawyers in Quebec court set hearing dates of July 3 and July 4 for the 34-year-old Montreal woman who faces one count of unlawful abandonment of a child.

The judge at the courthouse in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Que., west of Montreal, authorized a publication ban on the name of the woman to protect the identity of the child.

Judge Bertrand St-Arnaud also signed off on an order preventing the accused from contacting the three-year-old or the girl’s father.
