Rotorua: A young
Rotorua girl who falsely claimed she was gagged and tied up by boys who cut
her hair and slashed her school uniform probably needs “intensive
counselling”, police say. The 14-year-old on
Tuesday made a “full and frank” admission but did not tell police why she
made up the elaborate story. Detective Lehi Hohaia
said the girl would not be charged at this stage but would be referred to the
Rotorua police youth aid section for a family group conference. “Because of her age and
other things, we tend to think she needs intensive counselling,” he said. The girl’s mother told
the Daily Post her daughter needed serious psychological help. |
