Daily News | Philadelphia is expected to make its 10 p.m. curfew for teenagers permanent
and children ages 13 and younger must be home by 9:30. There are a handful of exceptions, including for children and teenagers who have jobs or are attending school or religious activities.
A spokesperson for the Police Department said that of more than 900 curfew violators since June, at least 85% were taken home or picked up by a family member. Gilmore Richardson also floated reinstating penalties for parents whose children violate the curfew, though the version of the bill that passed the committee Tuesday does not include fines.
“There should be a fine put on the parent if the child is picked up after the curfew hour by police,” he said. “If that parent is irresponsible, then we got to hold that parent responsible. I know that some folks don’t want to hear that.”
