Better late than never.
If they didn’t enforce the existing curfews before, what’s going to change now. Hogsett has held the police on a tight leash and the City has suffered. From the riots where someone in his administration told the police to back off, to today’s blood bath in the streets where the police cannot enforce the rules. If the kids violate curfew, is Prosecutor Mears going to slap their hands, or will he put repeat offenders parents in jail?
We ALL deserve better than this Administration.
Demand that IPS educate the next generation. This one is lost.
There is no IPS anymore. Yes, there’s a school board and a staff, but they oversee only a handful of traditional public schools now. It’s all about charters and innovations…entities that allow “educational entrepreneurs” to divert public resources to their own pay and benefits without actually improving the education of IPS kids.
You mean enforce the same way Hogsett and crew have enforced the current curfew laws? Is this a lame attempt to distract from the fact there are already curfew laws on the books which are never enforced? I know! A new law that we won’t enforce should appease the peasants!
The issue is parents need to take responsibility for their children, and some families also need resources to achieve some sort of stability.
Curfew ordinances are mostly feel-good measures that do very little.
Teens who are out getting into trouble do *not *care about curfew ordinances, and police have more important issues to address than curfew violations.
Also, teens engaged in trouble can almost always be detained for other reasons—the curfew violations just become an add-on potential charge. So, this is just another *after the fact* measure.
I have lived in Indianapolis under various administrations, including supposedly “law and order” ones (e.g. former Prosecutor turned Mayor Goldsmith) and curfew laws never did much, so it has nothing to do with enforcement.
Until the real issues are addressed, Indianapolis will continue to see shootings and other crimes.
What race are the teens?
Teenage curfews? What a novel idea! Curfews have been around forever, but unfortunately the city is now managed by scam artists and idiots. Now the question is whether IMPD will actually pick up these pucks and the prosecutor moving forward with charges. These delinquents should also be charged with criminal possession of a firearm and serve time. And something needs to be done to make parents of these delinquents accountable for their criminal actions.
Talking about parents needing to take responsibility is laughable. Parents are missing. Nothing here changes that. Kids don’t go from being held responsible, attending school, participating in church activities to picking up a firearm and heading downtown. These are not the kids of your friends from your neighborhood. These are inner city thugs that parents, school officials, courts and prosecutors have never held accountable for anything.
Good luck to the city and its citizens.
Nothing is going to change. This is an issue that starts at home.
Amen. And I’m guessing the majority of these youths don’t know who their parents are – let alone having them care.
Hopefully there will be no gun violence during the all-star event. Indy’s gun violence making national news is not good for promoting the City. Teen violence/curfew contributed to the downfall of Circle Centre mall.
