Release follows judge’s order that one girl not be strip searched at youth facility
Two girls charged in the fatal “swarming” death of a homeless man were released on bail late Friday after two, separate daylong hearings.
Their case is unprecedented in recent Ontario history, with the Ministry of the Attorney General confirming to the Star that they have no record of girls as young as 13 being charged with homicide as far back as 2011. The girls’ parents signed undertakings to act as responsible persons under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. That is a higher burden than being a surety for someone, which is another form of release. It means the parents are liable if their daughter breaches her bail conditions and they themselves could face prison time.
In response to Star questions about strip-searching youth, the spokesperson said in an email that these facilities “post clearly visible notices stating that all persons, vehicles and items entering or exiting the custody/detention facility may be searched in accordance with the Child, Youth and Family Services Act, 2017 and regulations.
