SINGAPORE – A teenage girl who hurt herself with a penknife at a secondary school before slashing two staff members was ordered on May 14 to undergo reformative training for at least six months.
During reformative training, young offenders are detained in a centre to undergo a strict regimen that can include foot drills and counselling.
The 17-year-old girl had pleaded guilty in January to one count of voluntarily causing hurt with a dangerous weapon.
A second similar charge was considered during her sentencing.
She cannot be named as those below 18 are protected under the Children and Young Persons Act.
