Following revelations that youth as young as 16 years are being allowed into some nightclubs and are being served drinks, a youth organisation is calling on parents and the community to address the issue immediately.
The Emerging Leaders Forum Alumni member, Filomena Tuivanualevu said the onus is also on the night club owners to do the right thing.
She added that the youth are often referred to as the leaders of tomorrow but if they continue to indulge in such risky behaviour, then their future will not be what their parents envision.
Meanwhile, Special Administrator for Suva and Lami Chandu Umaria said the issue of drunk and disorderly people, youth included, is becoming an issue.
Over the past few months, Fijivillage News has been observing that a number of secondary school students, some as young as 16, are being allowed into many nightclubs.
Many of the underage people who are allowed in are girls.
And we have also witnessed drinks being served to these young people.
Meanwhile, night spots reaffirm that underage youths below the age of 18 are not allowed into their clubs.
