A spokesman for Youth Justice said under the provisions of Youth Justice Act the department could not comment on individual cases.

“Details on charges and arrests should be directed to the Queensland Police Service,” the spokesman said.

“When a young person has reoffended and been found guilty the courts will determine an appropriate sentence that reflects that re-offending.

“The Youth Justice Act provides that in considering whether to record a conviction and determining a sentence, courts are to consider the nature of the offence; and the child’s age and any previous convictions; and the impact the recording of a conviction will have on the child’s chances of rehabilitation generally or finding or retaining employment.

“Youth Justice provides case management and programs for young people on court orders to help address the assessed factors contributing to their offending behaviour to stop them from re-offending and keep the community safe.”
