Vulnerable young woman made a ward of court against her wishes 

On the evidence, the judge was satisfied the woman has an intellectual disability, is presently of unsound mind, does not have power over the choices she makes and should be brought into wardship. 

A vulnerable young woman who witnessed her mother’s attempted suicide as a child and whose dangerous behaviour is escalating is to be made an adult ward of court against her wishes.

The Child and Family Agency applied for the 18-year-old woman to be made an adult ward due to its concerns about the risk she poses to herself and others.
