Vulnerable woman with 'traumatic history' objects to bid to make her a ward of court

A "deeply vulnerable" young woman with a traumatic history who is considered a "very serious" risk to certain persons is objecting to being made a ward of court.

A petition by the Child and Family Agency seeking to have the 18-year-old woman made a ward was adjourned at the High Court today at the request of her lawyers to allow another psychiatrist assess her for the purpose of the wardship inquiry.
