Baltimore City Officials Propose Stricter Curfew For Teens

Teens are running wild all over the country, not just Baltimore!

CBS Baltimore reports kids in Baltimore City may soon need to be home earlier at night. A new proposal is on the table for a stricter curfew in the city.

Meghan McCorkell has the details.

The current curfew for children in the city of Baltimore is midnight on weekends and 11 p.m. on weekdays. Now Councilman Brandon Scott has proposed legislation to make it earlier.

Young people tore into a Seven-11 in upper Fells Point around midnight in February. Now city leaders are trying to stop teens involved in incidents like that.

“We don’t want kids to harm anyone [or] to be harmed themselves,” said Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake.

As the moon rises, Councilman Brandon Scott says he wants to see fewer children out on the streets.
