Actually, it’s just the minors who violated the curfew. However, because of a new Mandaluyong City ordinance, parents are also involved when their kids break the rules.
“As such, seven minors and their parents were invited by the Anti Vice Squad of the Mandaluyong police after the youngsters were seen roaming the streets after curfew early Thursday, Feb 27,” reports ABS-CBNnews.com.
The city seems to be really serious about implementing the Mandaluyong City Code of Parental Responsibility for the Protection of Children’s Rights, as police went around to ensure that no minors were in the streets from 10pm to 4am.
