my daughter has been charged with section 47 asssault what do you think will happen to her she has never been to court

[notreally]

16 yr old daughter charged with assault not been to court before what will her sentence be?

[len_1]

it all depends on the severity of the assualt. Was it verbal or physical. Was there any injurys and how did the event occur. Its quite speific and every detail could change the nature of the incident quite dramatically.

[bob57]

as len says it depends on severity of assault but as it is her first time she may just get a caution which if she does something similar they will take that into account

ABH is a very serious offence - the sentencing of which though clearly depends on the circumstances and which court she is to appear before (magistrates or a higher court)...

i would advice you to speak to the court appointed legal rep or your own asap but in the mean time see this link - point number 4 covers ABH
