The mother of a missing Brownsville boy will be released from Rikers, prosecutors say.

Jacqueline Pritchett appeared in court Tuesday after she "pleaded the fifth" about the whereabouts of her 11-year-old son, Jacob, who has been missing since October.

Pritchett's attorneys called for her release Monday, claiming her detention is a violation of the Fifth Amendment.

Authorities say Jacob has autism and is non-verbal. He was first reported missing after welfare check on Sept. 25. Pritchett initially claimed she never had a child.
