These are hoods that need to be kept off the streets at night to keep the crime rate down!

So why not curfews for adults too?

I don't know what version of the Bill of Rights you have, but mine doesn't come with a disclaimer that says "does not apply to those under 18 years of age".

For some reason, Gdani, I have trouble following Libertarian attempts at reasoning.

No the bill of rights doesn't have a disclaimer. There are certain legal rights our society has agreed to grant one to receive when they reach adulthood, the 'rights' associated with adulthood vary from state to state as well the 'privileges'.

Why should a minor have the right to be out in the middle of the night without an adult?

It's pretty well known that your rights aren't fully realized when you're a minor. For example, the right to vote is applicable only to those over 18; the right to keep and bear arms is similarly controlled.

A youth curfew is a great thing. I do wonder about the punishment of business owners who don't enforce the law for them though
