Given the applicant's offences and wayward lifestyle, the absence of feasible alternatives (probation impractical due to youth and lack of parental support, imprisonment opposed by applicant and not serving purpose), and the fact that separation of mother and baby had already occurred with the baby in residential care, the court held that detention in a training centre remained the most appropriate sentence and dismissed the application for leave to appeal against sentence.
