Permanent Outlawry (i.e. for life). It's the chief's son and the chief usually has the final say - and it'd be very hard for anyone else on the Ring to disagree even if they wanted to. Then she's just another enemy of the clan and "fair game".
The way I'd see it is that as soon as they know that the kid has been taken and they have worked out that she did it she'd be declared outlaw. If there's hope that the child is still alive they'll be more concerned with getting him back than killing her (so the hunters would be looking to capture and interrogate her - probably involving torture).

If they decide that the child is dead, then that's far and away the most likely outcome. If the child is dead or even if that was her intent it is probably bad enough to bring Chaos on the clan - so the clan will be engaged in purification rites, watching out for an attack and she'll be blamed for anything that happened.

"Violence is always an option". But she'd be outlawed first so that killing her is not kinstrife.
