There is a curfew for kids this age - IMHO enforcement needs to be undertaken by parents, community members and police.

They have been trying to impliment the curfew for as long as I can remember. They have asked parents to help enforce it, at least 2 of the Priests have tried to get people to comply. At this point I do not see anyone enforcing the curfew and this is what happens when you don't.

We don't have a curfew at this time. There seems to be some issue with where we hold minors - apparently they can't be held at the police station so we need to hold them somewhere (and chaperone them) til parents come to pick them up.

If the person is 17 yrs old and works full time I am not sure they are referred to as kids minors) and I don't know if a curfew would apply due to age - or family life/enrollment in school circumstances.
