Jerusalem Magistrate's Court President Judge Shlomit Dotan decided Friday that the haredi woman suspected of abusing her child could serve the remainder of her house arrest at her own home with her other children under the supervision of a third party.

Nevertheless, the woman will not be allowed to be reunited with her three-year-old son she is suspected of abusing, the court ruled. He will either be transferred from Hadassa Ein Kerem Hospital to another facility, or will be discharged to the home of other relatives.

The house arrest has been set until August 5, and until now, the woman had been at the Geula home of Rabbi Avraham Froelich.

Prosecutors said they would appeal against the ruling, delaying the woman's release to her home. RELATEDExclusive: Psychiatrist may have conflict of interestEditorial: Privacy & sensitivity

A closed-door court hearing had ended in stalemate Thursday, amid disagreement between psychiatrists over whether the woman posed a danger to her children.

An attorney representing the woman said that a court-ordered psychiatric evaluation had determined that she was not suffering from a psychiatric disorder.

The woman underwent the court-ordered private examination earlier this week.

"The psychiatric evaluation has determined... that the woman is not dangerous, and is completely healthy," attorney Avraham Weiss had said ahead of the closed-door court remand hearing. "We are talking about a normal mother, and there is no reason for her to be in custody."

He added that the tests had found that the woman was not suffering from Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a psychiatric disorder in which a person deliberately abuses someone else, typically a child, in order to draw attention or sympathy to themselves.

But the chief district psychiatrist had told the court that the evaluation was unclear on whether the woman posed a danger to her children, officials said.

The psychiatric evaluation was supposed to help determine whether the woman is fit to stand trial, and whether she poses a threat to herself or her surroundings.

The police asked the court to keep the woman under house arrest as they continue their investigation.

The woman, a resident of the city's Mea She'arim neighborhood and a member of an extremist haredi sect, is suspected of severely abusing her child for two years, until a point where he weighed a mere seven kg.

The woman, who is five months pregnant, showed up for the examination despite pressure from some members of the extremist Eda Haredit organization not to do so until she is allowed to meet with her children, or until her sickened child is removed from Hadassah Hospital.

Hadassah doctors were the first to suspect that the woman was abusing her child, drawing the wrath of the Eda Haredit leaders.

Weiss had said that Hadassah Hospital was willing to discharge the child from the hospital next week.

Meanwhile, authorities are still seeking to question the woman's other children in accordance with a previous agreement reached with their father, Jerusalem police spokesman Shmuel Ben-Ruby said.

Police investigators have said that they wanted to pursue suspicions that the woman may have abused two of her other children as well.

The woman's attorney said that the children would meet with authorities, but that they were "under trauma."
