Dublin Children's Court makes Parental Supervision Order

Dublin Children's Court has placed a parental supervision order on the mother and father of a 17 year old offender who had been arrested for handling a stolen laptop. The youth's parents were ordered to make sure their son does not commit further offences at the risk of being held in contempt of court and facing penalties. It was the third time that Dublin Children's Court had made this type of order against parents. Click here to see the Irish Times report in its "In Short" column on 8th October 2008.
