 FLINT, Mich. (AP) - Flint children under the age of 17 will be banned from public places during daytime hours under a new ordinance approved by the City Council. The curfew will be in effect from 9:00 to 2:00 on school days. It goes into effect in about a month. Councilman Sheldon Neeley says statistics show that more than 60 percent of Flint ninth graders will not graduate. The ordinance allows police to arrest a child who is supposed to be in school. Parents who do not pick up their child within three hours of being notified would be guilty of a misdemeanor. Parents also must pay the cost of arresting and detaining the child if he or she is convicted. A proposal that would have allowed police officers to return truant students to school was defeated.
