HTN: City Curfew Program Seeks Funding

Buffalo officials are praising a new program designed to enforce the city's youth curfew. Kids found roaming the streets late at night are taken to the Edward Saunders Community Center on Bailey Avenue. The curfew has been on the books for 15 years and bars anyone under age 16 from being on the street during the overnight hours. Once at the community center, support staff try to find out why the child was on the streets and where parents are. The city's community service commissioner wants the Common Council to approve an 89-thousand dollar federal grant to continue the program.
