Do Your Kids Need a Curfew?
The Montgomery County Council is considering whether to require kids to be home at night.
At its meeting today, the Montgomery County Council will introduce a resolution that would impose a curfew for minors in the county.
If the bill is passed, kids under 18 would have to be home by midnight on Fridays and Saturdays and 11 p.m. every other day. Parents and businessowners would be held responsible for minors caught violating the curfew, and those parents could be required to take parenting classes.
The bill, proposed by County Executive Isiah Leggett, is meant to cut down on gang activity and crimes by minors, according to a news release.
