Girl (15) remanded after bail breach and alleged disorderly behaviour at Derry hospital
A 15-year-old girl has been refused bail at Derry Magistrate's Court following a breach of bail conditions and a charge of disorderly behaviour in Altnagelvin Hospital.
The girl, who cannot be named due to her age, was charged with disorderly behaviour on Monday, June 29 after police arrested her following a breach of her curfew.
She was taken to hospital after allegedly telling police she'd taken a number of tablets and then refusing to allow blood to be taken.
Police objected to bail.
The teenager had been remanded in custody on June 2 but was later released on High Court bail on June 10.
Defence Barrister Grainne McAnaney said that there were 20 days since her previous release, showing an improvement in her behaviour.
A social worker said she speaks to the girl multiple times each week and that she’s been 'managing well' recently, but is 'on the edge of the threshold' for secure accommodation.
District Judge Suzanne Rice said that the girl has 'an appalling record' for someone of 15.
The judge also spoke of her 'repetitive, constant' breaching of bail conditions.
She was remanded in custody and will appear again on July 7.
