Proverbs 10:12-14New International Version (NIV)
12 Hatred stirs up conflict,
but love covers over all wrongs.
but love covers over all wrongs.
13 Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning,
but a rod is for the back of one who has no sense.

but the mouth of a fool invites ruin.
Roland Martin talks to Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake about the city of Baltimore’s curfew to keep their kids safe. Her decison however, has been met with much criticism from various groups around the city.
“The curfew has been in place for more than 20 years. What we did was updated the curfew law, took away the penalty of jail. It’s a different curfew in the summer and the school year. It is very similar to what we’ve been enforcing,” she says.

I love this law because parents must take parenting classes if their 14yr can not follow the rules. The City of Chicago should try this, you think? Rahm give Mayor Rawlings a holla! My question is why aren't parents across America
asking for stronger curfew laws. Your comments are welcome.
