Troubled 14-year-old may be sent to care centre in Sweden
THE Health Service Executive is considering sending a troubled 14-year-old boy, who set fire to a room with children in it, to a therapeutic care centre in Sweden, the Dublin Children’s Court heard yesterday.
The teenager, who is facing charges for assault and a breach of the peace, is being held in custody on remand in detention centre for young criminals because there is presently no suitable care home environment in which he could be placed.
