Those pesky kids


Clayton County (GA) is trying to combat teen lawlessness. For starters, if minors are caught out after the 11 PM curfew, parents will be fined up to $1,000 and face 6 months in jail. Sounds tough, doesn't it? Well, this should take the teeth out of it.

If the teenager is found to be in violation of the curfew with their parents' permission, the police could hold their parents accountable and force them to face a juvenile court judge. Parents would not be held accountable if it is determined that their teenager snuck out of the house past curfew.
The County is also getting tough on graffiti. In fact, they've banned it. But guess who's stuck holding the fine for "illegal" graffiti.
An additional ban on graffiti adopted by the commission requires business owners to erase the markings from their premises within 30 days or face fines up to $1,000.
How about we get some juvenile offenders out there cleaning it up as part of their community service. Better yet, make them slaves for a week to local businesses. That ought to help the economy and discourage recidivism.

I can't believe this is happening in Georgia. It sounds like something that would happen in California. Punish everyone but the people responsible.
