A 14-YEAR-OLD boy charged with stabbing another boy at school had the victim's name ticked off on a note titled "soul list" in his bedroom, a court has heard.
But the teen's lawyer has told the Brisbane Children's Court it was a playfully named note relating to a group of children selling lollies.
The boy was denied bail in court on Friday.
He has been charged with attempted murder after a 15-year-old boy was stabbed in the neck with a knife at Mt Maria College at Mitchelton, in Brisbane's north.
The stabbing happened in the school's auditorium on Thursday afternoon and sent the college into lockdown.
The 14-year-old's lawyer Adam Magill downplayed the significance of the list in court on Friday when he applied for his client's bail.
He said there were a number of people named on it including the complainant.
According to the boy's mother it was over a year old and related to a group of children involved in the selling of lollies, he added.
Outside court Mr Magill told reporters his client had been bullied by others at the Catholic school but would not elaborate.
"It appears to just be a set of facts which have spiralled out of control, unfortunately with some devastating consequences for everybody involved," he said.
The court also heard the teen allegedly talked with a friend about stabbing the victim in the hours before the attack.
The injured boy was taken to Royal Brisbane Hospital with non-life threatening injuries and his family have requested his condition be kept private.
Police charged the 14-year-old late on Thursday night.
In denying bail, Magistrate Leanne O'Shea said the stabbing appeared to have been premeditated and the teen needed supervision.
"With a child in this state I'm of the opinion it is an unacceptable risk to all people in society at the moment, including his parents," she told the court.
The boy is being held at a youth detention centre in Brisbane.
He was not in court on Friday although his parents were.
They are devastated, according to Mr Magill.
"They feel as though they've let their son down," he told the court.
He later told reporters the boy still had not grasped the gravity of his situation.
"I just don't think the penny's dropped at this point in time," he said.
"He's fully unaware of the ramifications of what's happening."
Mr Magill said there would likely be another application for bail.
The case is expected to return to court on October 17.
