Teens Need A Curfew

Because of the killings of juveniles in Miami-Dade County, Florida, there is talk of bringing back a curfew. I don't think that is such a bad idea. These parents don't give a damn about their children, at least the law is doing something, although in the 'hood, the law is looked at as the enemy. To be honest, because of how the law has behaved towards those areas in the past, I can understand the attitude towards the law but not all police officers are grimy.

If we implement a curfew, that'll curb a lot of these teens from being out in the streets even considering being up to no good. If they are caught, then the punishment should be severe, or at least counsel them, to see why they aren't home, to see if their home life is appropriate for them. If it isn't, they need to figure something out. With all the budget cuts from our government, the money for this war could be used to bring back music into schools, could be used for arts and crafts, put toward putting underprivileged youth into sports. The money could be used to entice the youth from joining gangs or doing other things that would cause and bring them mischief. When are we, though, as parents, as adults, going to be the responsible ones and take back our youth? We need to be the ones to start it.
