Baltimore City leaders want to make sure children are safe during the summer, so they're enacting a curfew. Starting Friday and lasting until the end of August, children 14 years old or younger will not be permitted out past 9 p.m. The curfew for 14-to-16-year-olds is 11 p.m. through 6 a.m. the next day. Children who are out past curfew will be taken to one of two youth connection centers, where they'll wait for their parents to pick them up. City leaders want to make sure parents stay connected with their children. "This is what this is about: Making these connections to these families. Again, I would also like to harp on the point that no longer is this a criminal offense. Parents cannot be held criminally responsible. This is about connecting them to services and their families in lieu of fines and citations, so that we can make sure their families are whole again," Baltimore City Councilman Brandon Scott said. The youth centers will be open on Friday through Saturday from 10 p.m. through 3 a.m.
