They are trying them in Baltimore — after an Inner Harbor riot very similar to the one which occurred in Uptown Memorial Day weekend.
Teens picked up for violating the city’s curfew (under the age of 17 not allowed out without an adult after 12am on weekends and after 11 pm on weeknights) will be taken to what is basically a detention center:
The center will stay open through the night and teens will be given something to eat while they wait for their parents. Counselors will be on-hand to talk with families.
And think that it only took a stabbing to move Baltimore officials to act. In CLT, someone getting shot down in cold blood does not rate action.
