Less serious charges brought against boy accused of threats to neighbours

Charges brought against a 14-year-old boy for alleged threats to damage the home of a woman in his neighbourhood and to attack her partner were withdrawn at the Children’s Court today.

The boy had been charged earlier at the Children’s Court with criminal damage to a woman’s house in his north inner city Dublin neighbourhood, threatening to damage her home and threatening to cause serious harm to her boyfriend on dates in September and October.
