text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">During reformative training, young offenders are detained in a centre to undergo a strict regimen that can include foot drills and counselling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The 17-year-old girl had pleaded guilty in January to one count of voluntarily causing hurt with a dangerous weapon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">A second similar charge was considered during her sentencing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">She cannot be named as those below 18 are protected under the Children and Young Persons Act.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">In earlier proceedings, the court heard that she was late for school on April 28, 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The school\u2019s operations manager then confiscated her mobile phone before sending her to class.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">During a break between lessons at 12.20pm, the girl looked for him outside the general office to ask if she could have her phone back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">When he refused, she pulled out a penknife, hurt herself with it and slashed his left arm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">He called for the discipline master, who confronted her, but she also slashed his arm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The\u00a0girl was disarmed by another school employee and told that the police had been called.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Instead of waiting at the scene, she went home, where she was arrested.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The girl\u2019s bail was set at $10,000 on May 14, and she is expected to begin serving her sentence on June 15.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
