Baltimore's new curfew takes effect Friday
Unsupervised children must be indoors as early as 9 p.m.

Baltimore's new curfew — among the strictest in the country — takes effect
Friday amid mixed reaction, with some parents saying it could help keep
youths safe and experts noting that there's no evidence that it will.
Police will begin taking children out too late without supervision to one of
two curfew centers, where they will be evaluated and their families
connected to services.
"The primary goal of all of this is to make sure young people who may be in
challenging situations late at night are able to get home safely," said
Kevin Harris, a spokesman for Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake. "This isn't a
jail. This is a safe, youth-friendly environment, potentially a lot safer
than where they might otherwise be late at night, like in front of a liquor
store."
The new curfew, which updates a law on the books for 20 years, requires
children younger than 14 to be indoors by 9 p.m. Those 14, 15 and 16 can
stay out until 10 p.m. on school nights and 11 p.m. on weekends and over the
summer.
The city is launching the new curfew as one family prepares to bury their
daughter Friday after she was killed by gunfire in the city's Waverly
neighborhood. The curfew wouldn't have protected 3-year-old McKenzie Elliott
, who was struck by a stay bullet Friday afternoon on a porch, but some
parents say the new law can only help.
Anthony McNutt, father of a 17-year-old daughter, likes the idea of a curfew
to ensure that young people are inside at a reasonable hour and to hold
neglectful parents accountable.
"It has potential to save lives," said McNutt, who lives in Park Heights.
McNutt worries, though, that the curfew could prove to be a challenge for
single parents who work more than one job and cannot leave to pick up their
children at a curfew center. "I want to know what's in place for those
parents who aren't neglecting their kids," he said.
Others, including the American Civil Liberties Union, say the law will bring
more young people into the criminal justice system. Enforcement of the
curfew could disproportionately impact minorities, some warn.
Acting Capt. Eric Kowalczyk, a Baltimore police spokesman, said the
department will be distributing training materials to officers about the new
curfew, resources available to young people and their families, and a
reminder on police policies.
"We've been enforcing the curfew for 20 years, so as far as the enforcement
angle, nothing is changing from our perspective other than the new hours and
new resources," Kowalczyk said. "This is about making sure we are
identifying kids in at-risk situations and connecting them to city services."
If an officer sees a child out past the curfew, the officer could take the
child home. If the situation at the home seems unsafe, the officer would
take the child in a vehicle, likely a Police Athletic League car, without
handcuffs, to one of two curfew centers.
The centers — at the Lillian S. Jones Recreation Center in Sandtown-
Winchester and the Collington Square Recreation Center in the Broadway East
neighborhood — will each be staffed with at least eight people, including
police officers and social workers. The centers will be open only on Friday
and Saturday nights to start, but the city wants to eventually open nine
centers that will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The staff will evaluate the children and decide whether it is safe for them
to return home, officials said.
Children who have been abused or neglected could end up in foster care, but
city officials said such situations are expected to be rare. In most
situations in which the child's home life is in question, the city will
involve the Department of Social Services to develop an intervention plan.
The children will not face criminal charges, but their parents could be
fined $30 to $500, which would be waived if they participate in city-funded
counseling.
Baltimore's new curfew is stricter than the curfew in Washington, where
children younger than 17 must be indoors by 11 p.m. on school nights and
midnight on weekend and summer nights.
The curfews in Philadelphia and Chicago are tougher for younger children,
but roughly the same for older kids. In Philadelphia, those 13 and younger
have to be inside at 8 p.m. during the school year and at 9 p.m. during the
summer. Fourteen- and 15-year-olds can stay out until 9 on school nights and
10 p.m. in the summer, and 16- and 17-year-olds can stay out until 10 p.m.
and 11 p.m., depending on the time of year.
New York and Boston do not have curfews. Locally, Anne Arundel, Howard and
Baltimore counties do not have curfews.
Researchers say there is no evidence to suggest that curfews reduce crime or
keep children safe. For instance, a study of crime statistics from 1980 to
1996 in California cities with youth curfews found no correlation between
curfews and crime by or against juveniles.
