The girl apologised over the weekend for her actions after Attorney General Anand Ramlogan said she should surrender to police.
On Monday, the Prime Minister demonstrated a mother's gentleness and compassion that she has shown on many occasions.
"I will like to say, I am a mother and grandmother and this is a teenager. This is a child. I am sure you will agree with me when we say I should meet her, I should accept her apologies and we should find out why as a young girl she felt it necessary to do such a thing," Persad-Bissessar said.
"I am not of the view that she should be punished in any way. I think first we should talk and find out why, and see what help there can be," she added.
