Teenager who threatened to stab her parents and young siblings has foster care extended

The Family Law Court heard that the mother had acted as "a human shield to protect the younger children from weapons passing by my head"

Tusla had argued for a one-month extension to the interim care order, but the family managed to secure a three-month extension.

A young teenage girl told her mother that she would stab to death her younger siblings and then afterwards stab her mother and father.

That is according to evidence given by the child’s mother who told a Family Law Court that her daughter told her that “she didn’t care for the price that she would have to pay, prison or whatever”.
