A disturbed teenage boy who absconded from a secure unit in Co Wicklow has been located, the High Court heard yesterday. Mr Justice Kearns was told the child had returned to the family home and arrangements were being made to provide temporary, supervised accommodation for him in a hotel, as it was not feasible to return him to the unit.
Another boy, who is described as out of control and who absconded on Wednesday on a visit to a residential home, has not yet been found.
