The court accepted the probation report and considered the child's age (14), first offender status, family support, remorse and the absence of indicators requiring institutional detention; balancing public interest with the child's welfare the court held rehabilitation and supervision via a two‑year good behaviour bond under s.91(1)(b) read with s.93(1)(a)(b) Child Act 2001 (plus reporting to JKM and monthly psychology sessions) was proportionate and appropriate rather than custody.
