Doctors have told a Shawano County Circuit judge a woman charged in the death of her child isn’t competent to stand trial. They say 22-year-old Catherine Barker could become competent with treatment. Barker has been ordered to take prescribed medication and she will return to court in February for a follow-up competency hearing. Responding to a tip, Shawano police found the body of a two-month-old child inside a bassinet at Barker’s home. She told officers the baby had accidentally suffocated under a blanket.
