Section 62-4 CURFEW RESTRICTIONS.


Except as otherwise provided in this Chapter:

A.    It shall be unlawful for any juvenile to be present, go upon or remain in or upon any establishment or public place during the hours of curfew defined in Section 62-3.

B.    It shall be unlawful for any parent to knowingly permit, allow by inaction or to encourage their juvenile child to be present, go upon or remain in or upon any establishment or public place during the hours of curfew defined in Section 62-3.  The Court or jury hearing a charge of violating this ordinance may draw an inference of knowledge and intent of the parent charged to permit, allow or encourage their juvenile child to violate this ordinance upon a showing of previous knowledge or notice to that parent that their juvenile child has violated the curfew provisions of this ordinance previously to the violation giving rise to the charge. It shall, therefore, be no defense that a parent was completely indifferent to the activities or conduct or whereabouts of such juvenile.

C.    It shall be unlawful for the operator of a motor vehicle in which a juvenile is a passenger, to knowingly permit, allow by inaction or to encourage a juvenile to be present or remain in or upon such motor vehicle in a public place, or carry a juvenile into or upon a public place, during the hours of curfew defined in Section 62-3 .
