A mother charged with constantly injecting her 4-month-old son with salt water will be transported to a state mental hospital after a psychiatrist confirmed on Thursday that the woman was severely depressed.

Judge Jeffrey Manning requested Amber Brewington, 21, of Duck River, Tenn., to stay no more than 90 days at Mayview State Hospital before returning to court.

Psychiatrist Christine Martone, who examined Brewington two times, testified that Amber Brewington needs to be tested for Munchausen by Proxy syndrome, in which a caregiver simulates or induces illness in others in order to bring on sympathy. Christine Martone added that Brewington also suffered from borderline personality disorder and admitted to have had suicidal intentions.

Amber Brewington was indicted of deliberately poisoning her son, Noah King, with salt water. She was arrested after a nurse at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh informed the police that she had seen the mother disconnecting the infant’s feeding tube. Among other crimes, she is charged with attempted homicide.

Furthermore, Amber Brewington allegedly reported that she had injected her baby with salt water at least five times, including while he was hospitalized and treated at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tenn. Noah King was relocated on July 9 to the Pittsburgh hospital, where he remains in critical but stable condition.
