Parenting Tip of the Week

Talking to Parents - Drugs/Drinking

Looking for a way to initiate a conversation with another parent about teen drug or alcohol use? Try this: Last weekend my son was at a party where kids were drinking. He didn't drink any, but I was really upset that this happened at another friend's home. Do you think I should I talk to the friend's parents?

Why Have A Juvenile Curfew?

Statistics show that the ordinance of curfew is effective in meeting its purpose - to protect juveniles and other persons during the night time hours, to aid in crime prevention, and to decrease juvenile crime rates.

Changes in state legislation prompted an amendment to the Juvenile Curfew Ordinance, on July 11, 1995, to establish separate curfew for juveniles under the age of 12 and to establish a curfew for 17 year olds.

Exceptions to the operation of the curfew:

A juvenile who is going to or returning home from an official school, religious, or other recreational activity supervsied by adults, and
Sponsored by a city, a civic organization, or another entity that take responsbility for the juvenile.
All other stops are a violation of curfew.
