"Yesterday, a teen thug involved in street gangs who kicked a policeman in the head on Boxing Day failed to make a court appearance after refusing to board a bus at the detention centre where he was held.
Children’s Court magistrate Jane Gibson adjourned the case briefly to ascertain whether the teen was ill or just refusing to get on the bus.
Following the break, a representative from Youth Justice said the youth just “didn’t want to get on the bus”.
