She is also charged with three counts of assault with a weapon in relation to the boys and a third child.
A 28-year-old man was also charged in connection to the investigation. He was granted bail in December 2020.
Justice Lyle Zuk granted the woman's release with the conditions that she has no contact with the children in the case and the co-accused, she must live at an approved address and cannot change addresses without permission. She must abstain from drugs and alcohol and cannot possess a weapon.
Detention review hearings are a statutory right and are held every 90 days in the court closest to the jail where an accused is being detained.
