Teen told to pay for girl's haircut

A 13-year-old schoolboy, who set a girl’s hair on fire as they were travelling on a bus, has been ordered to write a letter of apology and to pay to get her hair restyled.

At the Dublin Children’s Court today Judge Aingeal Ni Chonduin said she wanted him to save up from his own pocket money for the girl to get a “new hair do.” He was warned that if he was going “to commit crime he will pay for it.”
