KEEP AN EYE ON THE KIDS

Something new is happening in this Cornish town And as the saying goes, new is not necessarily better - especially if you

are a Cornish teenager under 16 years of age Through the use of a pioneering plan, which to some reeks of prejudice, the

local authorities and police officials hope to cut dơwn the number of youths out on the streets at night It is thought that bydoing this, many of the crimes committed by young people will be prevented

The scheme involves a curfew - a set time when youths must be off the streets and in the warmth and safety of their ownhomes For any unsupervised youngsters under sixteen, the bell tolls at nine o'clock sharp And for all those under ten, the

watching hour is spot on eight The curfew is being enforced by patrols of police officers in the Redruth area In order to collect any damning evidence that might come to hand, many of the police are equipped with Orwellian-like head cameras If

a hoodie-wearing young delinquent gets the not-so-bright idea of spray painting a wall or overturning a rubbish skip, an

officer will more than likely be there filming it Of course, the film footage will then be used in a court of law as proof of theyoung hooligan's crime

If a young person under sixteen is spotted breaking the specified curfew, officials may respond in several ways Firstly, theparents of the young offender will be contacted and told that they are failing in their duties as responsible parents and thatthey must ensure that their children abide by the curfew If that warning fails to bring results, police will call in the socialservices or housing offices Either of these two groups may then take formal legal action against the family which could result

in parents having to receive counselling or guidance sessions

In the past, curfews have done what they were supposed to do, which is get the lads off the streets Dispersal zones were set

up under what is known as the Anti-Social Behaviour Act of 2003 This piece of legislation dictates that groups (groups being

defined as two or more individuals) may be asked to move on if their attitude or mode of behaviour has or may have causedanybody alarm, fear or distress Human rights activists, however, would like to know just who it is that decides what actuallyconstitutes 'alarm, fear or distress' After all, people differ, and what may alarm one person may leave another totallyunaffected This could lead to innocent young people out enjoying the long summer evenings being picked on for no goodreason

Not surprisingly, then, it seems that the new programme, aptly code-named Operation Goodnight, has set off a furious

debate Local councillors welcome the scheme, saying that, although the majority of parents in the area behave responsibly,

that is not enough They say that all parents must be persuaded to be more informed about the whereabouts of their children

at all times of the day and night They believe that only in this way will the community be a safer place for everyone.

On the other side of the coin, many locals feel that the teenagers are being robbed of a very important right Some residentsargue that not all teenagers are the same and every effort should be made to remember this fact They feel that if youths aretreated as if each and every one of them is a potential criminal, attitude problems will increase The Redruth legal officercomplains that many of the police treat every young person as a suspect He says that while the police have every right to getinvolved if a real problem should arise, they must use better judgement before challenging young people simply because theyare out for an evening stroll

Throughout history, animals have been used to perform tasks for humans, from ploughing fields to sniffing out illegaldrugs Some people have moral objections to forcing animals to perform tasks that are not in their nature, seeing it as

exploitative or even a form of slavery But what about when the animal itself volunteers its services?

Two unusual waiters in Japan provide an example of this Restaurant owner Kaoru Otsuka originally kept his macaquemonkeys, Yat-chan and Fuku-chan, as pets, but they have since become two much-loved and very useful members of staff.Having observed their master at work in the restaurant for some years, the monkeys soon began copying his actions and doingsimple tasks around the kitchen Then, taking into account how friendly they were with strangers, Kaoru decided to teachthem how to serve to customers Today, Fuku-chan specialises in providing diners with hot towels before a meal - a Japanesecustom - while Yat-chan is skilled at serving drinks Amazingly, Yat-chan even understands enough language to know whatdrinks customers want The monkeys receive soya beans from diners in return for their efforts, and work only two hours a day

to comply with Japanese animal labour laws Some people, however, may think their little, waiter uniforms are a step too far Another hard-working animal is Jip, a sheepdog, who is the pet of cafe owner in England Many dogs like to fetch thingsfor their master, but Jip takes this activity to a whole other level Whenever someone throws a dart on the cafe's dartboard, Jip

jumps up to retrieve it with her teeth She leaps up around three times her own height to reach the darts, and her owner says
