(A) A minor between the ages of seven years and 17 years, inclusive, commits an offense by being present in or remaining in any public place or on the premises of any establishment within the city during the restricted hours.
(B) A parent or guardian of a minor commits an offense if he or she knowingly permits or, by insufficient control, allows the minor to remain in any public place or on the premises of any establishment within the city during the restricted hours. The term KNOWINGLY includes knowledge that a parent should reasonably be expected to have concerning the whereabouts of a minor in that parent’s legal custody. This requirement is intended to hold a neglectful or careless parent up to a reasonable community standard of parental responsibility through an objective test. It shall, therefore, be no defense that a parent was completely indifferent to the activities or conduct or whereabouts of such minor.
(C) It shall be a violation of this subchapter for any person 18 years of age or older to aid or abet a minor in the violation of division (A) above.
(D) It shall be a violation of this subchapter for a parent or guardian to refuse to take custody during the restricted hours of a minor for whom the parent or guardian is responsible, within a reasonable period of time.
