Every country in the world has its own curfew in the summer, after which minor children can no longer freely walk around the city without their parents. In today's article, we will tell you why it is necessary, and at what age you can forget about this strict ban.

The summer curfew is most commonly referred to as forbidden time. It exists in order to protect the inhabitants of a certain city and reduce the crime rate and the number of victims. Usually, underage children are required to obey the curfew, first of all, who (for their own safety) do not have the right to appear on the streets of the city after the set time. However, curfews can also be extended to the general population, i.e. adults, if the situation so requires. Usually, such situations are the introduction of a state of emergency and the wartime regime, when it becomes very dangerous to be on the street at night. Compliance with the rules of the curfew is monitored by special police units and military patrols, bypassing the city during the day and at night.time. If we talk about Russia, then the curfew in summer comes at 23:00 Moscow time, and in winter - at 22:00. After this time, if the police notice a teenager on the street, his parents face a rather large fine for non-compliance with the existing law.

However, not all citizens of the Russian Federation are aware of the curfew law, many do not even have an idea what exactly it is about. That is why very often underage children (teenagers) become victims of all kinds of crimes, robberies and violence. In order to protect loved ones from such troubles, every citizen needs to know at what age (namely, up to how many years) the curfew applies to children, and after what time they cannot go out. First of all, this law must be studied by parents of minor children, since they are responsible for the fate and well-being of their child. In the event of a violation of the law, it is with them that law enforcement officers will first of all ask. Next, we will get acquainted with this law and tell you what its essence is.

The Law of the Russian Federation "On measures to prevent neglect and juvenile delinquency" was officially adopted and published in all newspapers on May 20, 2008. According to it, children under 7 years old are strictly forbidden to be outside at night without being accompanied by their parents. This is especially true for places such as clubs, sports and beer bars, as well as other entertainment venues. Children under the age of 14 are allowed to be outside without adults until 22:00 Moscow time.

What is this? If the child is 13.5 years old, he is required to observe the curfew. From the age of 14 - walk where and when you want ?! After the aforementioned law was published, many parents began to write to law enforcement agencies (and on forums) that 14 years old is absolutely not the age at which a child can already roam the streets at night with might and main. However, this law has not been amended. In the current situation, the summer curfew has lost all meaning, since this is the time of the year when all children want to stay outside as long as possible. What will happen next - time will tell.
