Curfew Without Consequences | Annapolis News

In Fells Point, Baltimore, five teens were arrested after a weekend brawl — including a 17-year-old girl who spat at an officer. It’s sparking debate over the city’s curfew enforcement, which is actually handled by MONSE, a department that lacks legal authority to arrest but instead aims to engage youth and steer them toward safe activities. Officials say they’re shifting away from punitive measures, especially in warmer months, to reduce unnecessary police contact — but critics question how effective a curfew without real consequences can be. When laws are broken, like assault, police are involved for accountability. Ultimately, keeping kids safe requires community effort — with parents playing a key role alongside city resources.
