Child-abduction case resolved
Florenceville-Bristol woman admits to lesser, included counts of breaching court order
A Florenceville-Bristol woman who had been remanded on parental-abduction charges until her release on conditions last week has admitted to lesser, included offences.
The 43-year-old defendant was charged in January with two counts of parental abduction in violation of a family court custody order, alleged to have occurred Jan. 4 in Beardsley, just south of Woodstock.
The identities of two children - who are the subject of the court order and who were named in the charges as victims - are protected by a court-ordered publication ban, and given the relationship to the accused, the Fredericton Independent isn’t naming her either so as to comply with the ban.
