Judge Warns Parents Over Child’s School Absence

A Galway judge delivered a stern warning to parents whose 13-year-old daughter has missed nearly 135 school days since last October — a staggering 92% absence rate — with numbers worsening after court summons. The girl’s recent attendance is alarmingly low, missing 13 out of 23 school days, compounded by disengagement from mental health services. Facing prosecution from Tusla for failing to secure her education — a fundamental right — the parents were told they could face jail time, even transport to Dublin, if she doesn’t attend secondary school this fall. The case underscores the urgent need for intervention when a child’s education and well-being are at risk. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
