Mom who threw tot in NY river can go home to India
By JENNIFER PELTZ | Associated Press – Fri, Feb 10, 2012
NEW YORK (AP) — A mother who tossed her toddler into the Hudson River after suddenly spiraling into psychosis can return to her native India and her children, a judge said Friday after she reached a rare form of agreement with prosecutors to resolve her attempted-murder case.
Devi Silvia will continue treatment and medication in India, with New York authorities monitoring her progress during five years of probation.
Her lawyers called it a just result for a woman whose conduct was driven by a mental illness that emerged only in the days before she threw her daughter into the chilly river off Manhattan's Upper West Side, then leaped in herself, in May 2010.
"Ms. Silvia has always been a tremendously caring and loving mother, who at the age of 34 had no prior symptoms of mental illness and had no idea what was happening to her at the time of the incident," the law firm that represented her, Bingham McCutchen LLP, said in a statement. "Ms. Silvia has been in full remission now for nearly two years, and she has been a model patient in every category."
