Kids, Off the Streets!

Philadelphia mayor Michael Nutter has decided to extend a weekend curfew for minors in Center City and University City.

Unaccompanied minors must be off the streets by 9 on Friday and Saturday nights.

The curfew was put in place in August after a series of random beatings by teenage flash mobs. 

According to the mayor, there haven’t been any attacks since the curfew was enacted.  So he’s extending it until the current law can be rewritten.

8 of the city’s recreation center will remain until 10 PM on weekends, so kids have someplace to go.
