A judge in Sussex County on Monday found a Hopatcong mother not guilty by reason of insanity in an attack on her children last summer that left one of the boys
seriously injured.
Rather than serve prison time for attempted murder, Karina Cedeno-Flores, 33, will be under the care of the state s Department of Health, which will determine if she requires inpatient hospitalization for mental health treatment, according to a written decision by state Superior Court Judge Louis Sceusi.
She ll also be required to return for periodic hearings before a judge to assess her condition. The state s child-welfare division will determine what level of contact she ll have going forward with the children, who have been staying with their grandfather since the July 28 incident.

It was supposed to be a simple exchange of vehicles between the two Army soldiers in upstate New York: Hayden Harris Ford Mustang for Jamaal Mellish s Chevrolet Silverado.
But the transaction outside Fort Drum last month quickly went awry, prosecutors said on Wednesday: Mellish, they said, pulled a handgun and gave it to his girlfriend s 16-year-old brother, who was also at the meeting. The 20-year-old Harris was forced into the backseat of Mellish s truck and bound and gagged while the teen aimed a silver and black pistol to his head, authorities said.
After a nearly 4½-hour, 275-mile trek to the south, Harris was allegedly pulled out of the truck in a dark, empty cul-de-sac at the end of Ross Road in Byram Township. Around 1 a.m. on Dec. 19, prosecutors said, Mellish shot his fellow soldier in the head, then left his body partially buried in the snow.
