A teenage girl pleaded guilty Aug. 21 in Provincial Court to stealing an iPad and kicking a pregnant group home worker in the stomach.
Court heard that the incident took place May 28, 2024 in Prince George.
Judge Martin Nadon ordered a pre-sentencing report and an assessment under the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA). The guilty girl, who had no prior criminal record, cannot be identified under the law. She was visiting the group home where the incident happened.
Court heard there was an argument with two workers at the group home that escalated into a physical altercation when three girls made a run for the office.
The girl who appeared before Nadon was charged with assault for kicking one of the group home workers in the stomach. The woman was pregnant and suffered what were described in court as temporary effects, but she eventually gave birth to a boy.
The three girls shut and locked the office door. So the two workers went to a neighbour to call Prince George RCMP.
The three fled the group home but were found nearby. An officer found an iPad inside the backpack of the girl who kicked the worker. The iPad belonged to the other worker at the group home.
Nadon set the next court date for Nov. 19.
