According to the Constitution, under the article 359 of the equality statute, every man or woman in the United States of America are entitled to the same rights written in the Constitution. It is a known fact that about 60% of America's teens are "left out" of this statute on concerns of maturity. Mary Lanston, a proffessor at Yale University states, " Curfews should be made by the parent of the teenager, not the state." Curfew enforcement are supposed to keep juvenile criminals off the street, but these curfews are actually drawing out these young teens. Cory Mandosa of the St. Louis Post Dispatch wrote an interesting article about immaturity of teens, this is his report, "Its funny adults say teenagers are immature, if thats the case why are adults bewing put away for immature crimes?" Adults seem to be exempt from these laws. Karl Summer of the Washington University clearly stated, "Teenagers have more laws resticting them then adults do." These laws has brought more problems for parents with rebellious teens. Alicia Green of the St. Louis Post Dispatch stated, "Some teenagers have more common sense than some adults partying the night away." But the most interesting topic was that of John Basilwood, Attorney at Law. He stated, "Assuming teenagers are not as mature as adults and targeting them to enforce curfew is discrimation,k what they should be doing is catching the dangerious adult convicts on the streets." It seems teenagers are being "denied" the right to nocturnal activities. "There will be more problems to come of this situation." says Dilan Stokely of the Boston Herald.
