Judge requests HSE attend case of teen
A judge at the Dublin Children’s Court has asked the HSE to attend the case of a 16-year-old boy charged with assaulting his sick mother and stealing her medication.
Judge Ann Ryan’s request came after she heard that the boy had been earlier held in custody where educational and psychological assessments were carried out. As a result, an action plan had been drafted with recommendations for social services to assist the teen over his anger problems and for family therapy to be provided.
