Social services refused to help a homeless teenager, whose parents have stopped being involved with him, the Dublin Children’s Court heard today. The boy (aged 16) is facing Public Order Act charges for being drunk and disorderly and engaging in a breach of the peace was accompanied to court by a course co-ordinator from the training programme he is taking part in. He outlined problems the teen had in relation to accommodation. “Since September 2 he has been homeless. I have not been able to get his parents to act on his behalf,” he said. He added that the boy was in an “intolerable situation” where he had look for accommodation in hostels for the homeless every night. He said he tried to get a social worker appointed to the teenager but was refused.
