The judge accepted the teen’s ADHD played a key part in the arsons, and prisoning him would harm his mental health.
A teenager who set fire to two buildings after he was dared to do so by a friend has been given a suspended sentence.
But a judge accepted the teen’s ADHD played a key part in the arsons and locking him up would harm his mental health. He then got into the old bar via a broken fence and set fire to wood, wallpaper and a towel, before running away after the flames got out of control. More than 50 firefighters and 12 fire engines attended the two blazes in total, placing a significant strain on the resources of local fire service.
