An early morning fight on Saturday that sent a young girl to hospital with stab wounds has a Toronto city councillor calling for police action against the girl's parents.

"There isn't a parent in this city that should allow their 12-year-old child out on the streets at 2:30 in the morning," Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti told CTV Toronto on Monday.

At approximately 2 a.m. Saturday, two 12-year-old girls were allegedly involved in a fight in the Queen and John Street club district in downtown Toronto.

Both girls had been attending an all-ages dance in the area.

One of the girls allegedly pulled out a knife and stabbed the other three times in her head, back and face.

Mammoliti is asking police to charge the victim's parents under the Child and Family Services Act. The act makes it illegal for a child under 16 to be out between 12 p.m. and 6 a.m. without a parent.

He also said club owners need to take some responsibility.

"If they're willing to make their money off the children then they should be willing to escort the children or make sure they get home safely," Mammoliti said.

"But quite frankly the parents have a bigger responsibility. Where the hell were they?"

Police said that the victim did have her parent's permission to be at the nightclub. In response, Mammoliti said that was even worse and he called for the Children's Aid Society to step in.

The councillor has tried twice before to impose a city-wide curfew calling for anyone 15-years-old or younger to be home by 11 p.m.

Last September, he lost his most recent attempt by only six votes when he brought forth the proposal during Toronto's rash of youth gun violence.

Although he has to wait a year, Mammoliti said he will try again to get his proposal made into law.
