Parents in fear of their addict son granted interim barring order by Kildare judge

A man and a woman from County Kildare were granted a temporary barring order against their adult son.

Judge Desmond Zaidan made the decision to grant the order during an in-camera (in private) session heard in Naas District Court on Thursday, September 14.

He was told by the father that his son has substance abuse issues and that he is 'violent.'

The man said that his son has physically hit him in the past, and added that while he has not punched his mother, 'he has squared up to her and pushed her.'

The woman added that their son 'wrecks the house.'

She further said that they have other children who are afraid of their older sibling because of his alleged behaviour.

After consideration, Judge Zaidan decided to grant the order for the man and woman until the case resumes at a later date.

He also told the couple: "If he does not turn up on the next date, I will re-affirm my order."
