13-year-old felt to be risk to himself and others remanded on bail

A 13-ear-old boy on the educational level of a child aged six and thought to be “a risk to himself and others”, has been remanded on continuing bail for assault, trespassing and motoring offences.

At the Dublin Children’s Court today, Judge Ann Ryan adjourned the case of the boy, who has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), to consider reports on his ability to understand the meaning of criminal behaviour.
