Many of my elected officials have agreed with the curfew law from looking at the many sources I used. No one tried to beg the difference or go against it. However, parents are disapproving of this curfew law. I feel as though the parents should have a say so I this because majority of the time it’s not their fault and giving the curfew fine is not getting the parents any power of what should be done. Having this as a law is making more of our youth have unnecessary things on their record that doesn’t need to be there at all. There have been policies trying to stop what I’m stating as well.

We all need to find people with higher power and authority other than our mayor and governor who is agreeing with the curfew. Finding these people can help us fight for the curfew law to be a bit more reasonable. If not I have no choice but to find people who feel the same way and I do and try to persuade them to see things from our perspective. I honestly think that this is a not only a fight for our youth but for the parents as well. I think the parent’s perspective will be as more powerful than anybody else. Majority people who voted for this bill or more so on the pros side other then the cons. And the people with the power (mayor and governor) are all for it.

There are a lot f concerns and questions about this bill, but we are not sure who are actually working on getting these questions and concerns out. People in my class that are doing this topic as well are also not sure about who is working on it. There are really no more up to date meeting and anything about the curfew right now either. In my opinion it seems as though this is just up in the air and the people with the actual power doesn’t really care.

Here is a video from youtube talking about curfew in Philadelphia: Video
