Girl slashed in classroom attack

(I wonder what kind of detention sentence they can give to a 12 year old...)

The 'toughest' sentence would most likely be a secure children's unit until she's 18. If they thought she was actually mentally ill, then a secure hospital 'at Her Majesty's pleasure' - i.e. until such time as she was considered cured/safe which could in theory be never.

My (then) stepsister was attacked and left for dead by a 13 year old boy when she was 9. Little factual details tend to stick with you.
