A WOMAN who violently attacked two teenagers will be punished later this month.
On Thursday at Alloa Sheriff Court, Claire Walsh admitted lunging towards a 14-year-old boy, scratching his face, punching him on the head, straddling him and pinning him on a bed, and kicking him to his injury.
The 32-year-old also admitted seizing a 15-year-old girl by the hair, pulling it, and scratching the teen's face.
Both assaults took place at Broomhall Castle in Menstrie on September 4 last year.
The court was told that previously ordered reports were still not available.
Defending, Claire McCarron claimed that her client, of Erskine Place in Clackmannan, did not receive the first letter and only got the second on the day of the actual appointment.
Sheriff David Mackie adjourned the case until February 16 for the completion of the background report.
