In a Wicklow courtroom this September, a 33-year-old man faced the legal consequences of allegedly targeting a teenage girl at a public bus stop on her way to school — a place and a routine that should have carried no threat. The court granted bail, but wrapped it in conditions that acknowledge both the vulnerability of the victim and the complexity of the accused's circumstances. It is a moment that sits within the larger, unresolved question of how public spaces can be made safe for young people simply moving through their ordinary days.
