It shall be unlawful for a parent, guardian or other adult person having the care and custody of a minor to allow or permit a minor to violate the provisions of Section I and II hereinabove.
In any prosecution under this Section III it shall not constitute a defense thereto that the parent, guardian or other adult person having the care and custody of a minor did not have knowledge that such minor was in violation of the provisions of this ordinance. It is the intent of the City Council that minors should be in their homes during the proscribed hours hereinabove listed and that it is the duty of the parent, parents, guardians, foster parents and other adults having the care and custody of minors to insure that the minor is home unless the minor can establish to the satisfaction of a law enforcement officer that the minor has on his or her person a written permission which meets the requirements of this Ordinance. This part of the ordinance shall be enforced with strict liability and does not require knowledge, purpose or negligent proof for a conviction. (Ord. 16-2, 7-5-2016; amd. Ord 16-2, 8-15-2022)
