I don't think that Gertrude should be okay with sending her son away right now. At a time when she believes him to be mentally unstable, she should be keeping him close to take care of him and watch him. In scene one she just lets Claudius persuade her that sending him away is the only way to fix the problem. She is completely brainwashed by Claudius. I don't believe that Gertrude cares about her son at all because if she did, she would want to be with him.
