Abigail Hanna, 21

[From article]
A former babysitter accused of kidnapping a two-year-old girl in the middle of the night and assaulting her could barely stand as she made her first court appearance on Monday.
Abigail Hanna, 21 from Topsfield, Massachusetts, was arrested in a hospital on Friday after Lyndon Albers, a child she had previously babysat, was discovered naked on the side of a road, three hours after she was reported missing and eight miles from her home.
The two-year-old toddler had cigarette burns on her body and her head shaved to reveal a bruise the size of a softball.
The private-school educated Hanna balanced with the help of guards as she was escorted into the courtroom on Monday.
Her legal team entered a plea of not guilty before a judge held her without bail.
A doctor told the court she was experiencing psychotic symptoms and not fit to stand trial while her lawyers said she had a history of suicide attempts and hallucinations.
