Police have closed down an Edenvale nightclub where they found children under the influence of alcohol on Friday night.
North Rand police spokesperson Eugene Opperman said there were six under-age children at the Revolutions club in Isando Road. He expressed concern over the attitude of the parents when their children were returned to them.
”One parent snarled at police, asking if they had nothing better to do than harassing the youngsters who are out to enjoy themselves.
”She clearly does not understand the dangers of under-age children visiting nightclubs,” he said in a statement on Saturday.
”One of the six children, a 13-year-old girl, was so drunk that she could hardly stand on her feet.”
He said parents should be more concerned about exposing their children to alcohol and drugs. — Sapa
