PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia City Council is poised to change the curfew for teens from midnight to 10 p.m., but for kids like Musa Kane, that’ll change very little.
Even after Kane turns 16 at the end of the year, he suspects he’ll continue making it to his home in Kingsessing before sunset just to be safe. City Council has nothing on his mother, who likes him home at a reasonable hour given the violence in the city.
“I can’t do stuff as freely as I like,” said Kane. “My friends who live in safer communities can stay out till 12 and stuff, but because I live here, at like seven I have to come back home.”
