Councilmen Propose Citywide Curfew For Kids Under 18
Two Republican City Council members are pushing a proposal to keep kids off the street late at night, but Mayor Michael Bloomberg isn't too fond of the idea.
Councilmen Dennis Gallagher of Queens and James Oddo of Staten Island plan to introduce a bill Tuesday that would establish a citywide curfew. They're trying to revive a measure drafted but never passed in the 1990's.
The proposed measure would prohibit anyone under the age of 18 from being in a public place without an adult between midnight and 6 a.m.
Violators could be escorted home by the police, or held at a police precinct until their parents can pick them up.
Police could also issue a summons for violating the curfew, and parents who knowingly let their children violate the curfew could be fined.
However, the mayor seems to disagree with the plan, saying a curfew is not the city's responsibility.
“I’ve always believed that parents should raise their children and should set some appropriate times for them to be home, and parents should know where their children are and what they are doing, but I don’t know that I think that government should be involved in that," said Bloomberg.
