A 15-year-old girl picked up a long glass shard from a shattered photograph frame and slashed her youth worker across the neck. But in sentencing her for wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, a judge has found the girl was not the only one to blame. District Court Judge Martin Sides has found “significant moral culpability” on the part of the Sydney not-for-profit company providing the girl’s full-time care on behalf of the Minister for Family and Community Services.
