So impose a curfew, already! In Union Beach a horn blast, goes off at 8:00PM. All kids 18 and under, who don't have part-time jobs, either have to be with an adult or get off the streets! Impose a PERMANENT curfew! I am FOR it! One infraction and you HAVE to pick up your kid! This is one way to get those responsible for these kids to get involved!
