Could The City Of St. Petersburg, Florida Benefit From Stricter Youth Curfews?

The city of St. Petersburg, Florida could probably benefit from a model like that of Baltimore, Maryland's new youth curfew. In an online article by Ian Simpson and entitled, "Baltimore poised to impose strict new youth curfew", the police department and many concerned citizens of Baltimore are making an attempt to save their inner city youths from the clutches of crime before their life options are destroyed early in life. One of the major steps to saving  these youths is by enforcing stronger curfews that holds parents and caregivers more responsible for the actions and whereabouts of their children.

Like Baltimore, many of the inner city youth in St. Petersburg,  particularly those witnessed here in the black communities are often seen outside after 10 p.m. and as early as 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. in the morning. It is generally assumed that these youths are out without their parents knowledge.  Some of these children seen out so late at night are youths as young as 4 years old,  and they are usually in the companies of youths between the ages of  13 or 14 years of age.

More often than not these children end up disturbing the areas of the community in which they have invaded. Later, and by the reactions of their parents, who appear clueless to what their children are really about, a community war ensues because their children are not truthful to them from the start. Then, these parents believing they are saving their children, turn and harass the very people their children have disturbed. Sadly, these children quickly learn that they can cause harm this way and some do so because it seems easier to them than facing their parents with the truth of their wrong doings. While other youths do it out of plain meanness against adult authority.  Some of the parents behave hostile and threaten violent in various ways that infects the neighboring areas in which they live, and it is all based on the untruthful words of children causing trouble at places where they should not be without adult supervision.

It must be strongly stressed and stressed often that these unsupervised youths make trouble for themselves, their parents, and the rest of their community by taking minor problems and making those problem major ones and even criminal ones.

In April of 2013, the St. Petersburg City Council rejected imposing an 11 p.m. curfew on school nights for those 16 and younger, the problems addressed with that motion and the ensuing crimes committed by youths since the Council's decision -- has escalated.

Therefore, will stricter curfews with monetary fines and counseling of both parents and their children through social services help stop some of the senseless crimes done by youth here in St. Petersburg? It is worth a try.  Will imposing stronger parental awareness of their youths whereabouts, and who their children are with at any hour of the day and night help prevent some of the youth orientated crime in this city. Once again, it is worth a try.  But, somehow the communities and authorities figures of this city have to get these parents on-board to save their children using positive solutions.

Like my parents told me and my siblings, "There is nothing in those streets worth destroying your life over."

When Adults Gave Their Mixed Messages

MAROON COLORED CAR

This just happened I maroon colored car drove by and the driver is his/her windows down and was playing something with the words of "my grandchild".

 

this driver is one of the harassers who has been driving around in their attempt to upset me. They failed. A black SUV drove by about the same time. 

These two harassers are working together, and did this in defense of the children who had been coming around causing trouble by trespassing on the property of  an abandon church. cursing and threatening the adults residents who live of the avenue. And then, running home to lie about their activities to their parents, who in turn start harassing, lying to their neighbors and friends. These people then start throwing trash on peoples lawns, stalking, and driving by the victims homes and attempting cause them trouble in the business them frequent.

Now, how are these children to learn how to be property and honest citizens, when their parents are breaking laws themselves. 

This is every day. what amazes me is that these parents criminal behavior is why their children behavior as badly as they do and end up in trouble. 

These parents are only making more trouble for themselves. The only thing to do is keep reporting them.  Eventually, people will get tired of the daily unrest they are causing and turn them into the police department. 

If they were truly concern about their children, these parent would accept the they children were wrong and that they are wrong and truly need to clean up their acts and to better their children future. 

Right now, everyone can from their parents behavior why their children behavior as badly as they do.  

You parents of those unruly children truly need to wake-up.  Because more and more people are catching on to YOUR BAD BEHAVIORS! And do not attempt to harass them as one woman did yesterday. Yes, we caught on to her and she  use a intimidating tone with someone. It was a foolish attempt to make it appear that she was warning someone about me. It is her people should wary of because she it one of the harassers. She did not like that protecting myself from the likes of her. I am not the problem. You harassers are the problem. 

When you parents act that way, we see you in your children.

What is this really about? 

Is this about illegal drugs? Well, we do not need them here. Is it about that failed church? They should not trusted you so readily. Like you used your friends and neighbors, you used them for your own purpose, which has nothing to do with religion. And, now you use your children. Why? Because you do not like some of the residents on our little street. You do not like that we like our street as it is and that we will stand up for it whenever trouble come from around the corner.

True Prophet Preaches Repentance & If a Child Never Learns How to Behave

 Generally I would put something like this on my faith page. However, since this page has become message board for  those troublemakers, the stalkers and the the others harassers, I place it here:
The True Prophet Preaches Repentance And Obedience To God's Law

Jer 23:21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
Jer 23:22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
Jer 26:4 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,
Jer 26:5 To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both rising up early, and sending them, but ye have not hearkened;
Jer 26:6 Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.
Jer 35:15 I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me.
Isa 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

And, to you harassers who think not correcting children no matters what their ages, and who lie for the purpose of causing adults problems, is a better cause then you are only adding to the problems those children will experience because they are not learning how to cope with what is right behavior and what wrong behavior and that lying will only land their and those they involve in bigger trouble.

So do not attempt to preach to me. For I see you as corrupted beings with little true respect for anyone or anything that you cannot product from. your trouble because I want to live free of you and do not need you in my life. This and not my racial background that bugs you, I am not of your mindset and never will be.
