The Curfew Come Back Again

Remember the nighttime curfew for children? It was last enforced, rather weakly, in October of 2004. But now its' back again. A release from the Ministry of Human Development says that effective this Friday, no child under the age of 16 will be, "allowed to loiter or wander in a street, park or public place in Belize City between 8:00 pm and 6:00 am.

Any parent of a child found out at those hours unaccompanied by an adult will be guilty of committing an offence.
