JK Rowling says she is willing to pay for legal action after reporting that a 13-year-old girl at a Scottish secure unit was housed alongside older teenage boys. According to the accounts, the girl, held at St Mary’s Kenmure in Bishopbriggs, Glasgow, asked to be moved to a separate empty houseblock because she said she felt unsafe being housed with “young offender adolescent boys.” The request was reportedly denied. The reports describe the situation as raising concerns about how children are separated and managed within the secure setting. Rowling’s offer is presented as financial support for potential legal steps connected to the child’s placement and the decision to refuse the move request. The articles do not provide additional details about any formal investigation, legal proceedings already underway, or the unit’s reasons for refusing the transfer. The matter is presented as an ongoing dispute about safeguarding and placement arrangements for minors in secure accommodation.
