Last week I learned about a proposed daytime curfew in a neighboring town in Curfew reports around the country that was posted here at News and Commentary by Valerie.
Often we only hear of a few lone parents who oppose proposed daytime curfew laws, but I am happy to report that there is strong opposition in high places to this proposed law. You can read all about it in Police oppose curfew, viability of enforcement questioned by Lisa Roberson of The Chronicle Telegram.
Congratulations to Elyria High School Principal Dianne Quinn and Police Chief Michael Medders who appear to realize that that such a law would infringe on basic rights, would be very difficult to enforce and know that there are already laws in place to deal with any difficulties that may arise!

Im a high school sophmore and i pretty much agree with the curfew laws. Kids and Teenagers should be kept in the safety of thier homes during night hours, think of all the parents and families that have suffered so much torment and sadness from finding out thier own children have been victims of kidnapping, rape, or death by car accidents
its sad really
