Curfew for minors: the law, in Moscow and Moscow

Most citizens associate curfews with military action or emergency situations. Meanwhile, this phenomenon is present in the regions of the country on an ongoing basis. We are talking about restrictions related to the movement of teenagers at night. Since not all parents know about the curfew for minor children, you should figure out what it is and from how many hours to how many hours it lasts.

What is curfew in Russia

First of all, you should understand the concept of “CC”. This term refers to the imposition of a ban on citizens being in public places (and sometimes just on the street) at certain times of the day without obtaining permission from the authorities. As a rule, restrictions are imposed at night.

The introduction of this measure is standard practice during times of hostilities or in the event of emergency situations. Such measures help reduce the level of crime and looting. They are usually introduced for a certain period and removed after the danger has been eliminated.

Meanwhile, there are permanent restrictions for teenagers under 18 years of age. The legislation of the Russian Federation enshrines norms prohibiting minor citizens from being on the street at certain times of the day without adult accompaniment. The period when this restriction is in effect is called a curfew for children. It does not depend on martial law and emergency situations.

Legislative regulation

This concept is regulated by several legislative acts. First of all, it is enshrined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation, as well as in the Family Code. In addition, the time of day when teenagers have the right to be outside on their own is controlled by Federal Law No. 124, adopted back in 1998.

In 2009, significant changes were made to this regulatory act: the time when minors can be on the street themselves was clarified, and a complete and accurate list of places where they are prohibited from staying in the evening was provided. An important nuance - children under 7 years of age are prohibited from walking in a public place without adult supervision at any time.

Thus, it is necessary to focus on the following laws regarding the presence of children on the street:

• Constitution;
• Family code;
• Federal Law number 124.

Regional authorities have the right to make changes to specific restrictions, that is, to clarify the time frame for their action. This may be caused by the climatic characteristics of the region and the specifics of its terrain. Such a law, for example, was adopted in St. Petersburg in 2014.

When children should not be outside unaccompanied by adults

The first thing to remember is that CCs are only valid at night. This is due to the fact that most crimes are committed at night.

This is explained by the following factors:

• identifying a criminal at night is more difficult;
• the number of people on the streets at this time is reduced, which is why there are fewer witnesses to the crime;
• It is often at night that crimes caused by excessive alcohol consumption occur.

What time the curfew ends (and starts) can be adjusted by local authorities. Despite this, most of the regions in this case are in solidarity with Moscow, due to which the restrictions in them are the same (the indicators indicated below are also relevant for the Moscow region):

• the ban starts at 10 pm and ends at 6 am from November to March;
• from 23:00 to 6:00 from April to October (spring, summer and autumn).

The same rules, for example, apply in the Vladimir region and the Saratov region, the Altai region and the Nizhny Novgorod region (previously, the restriction here was less strict, the curfew began at 24:00 and ended at 5 a.m.). For citizens over 16 years of age, the restriction is relaxed by 1 hour. Closer to winter, the prohibitions are stricter than in the summer. This is due to the fact that it gets dark much earlier in the season.

Due to the law mentioned above, special rules apply for St. Petersburg. Minors are prohibited from being on the street in St. Petersburg:

• from 23:00 to 6:00 in summer;
• from 22:00 to 6:00 in winter.

Bashkiria also has its own rules, where you can walk until 24:00 if you are 17 years old. The legislator also introduces certain relaxations, regardless of the specific region. On December 31, January 1 and on holidays organized by local authorities, for example, restrictions for teenagers are lifted.

Exceptions

The legislation also specifies categories of citizens to whom the rules mentioned above do not apply.

Officially this applies to:

1. emancipated teenagers (an appropriate court decision will be required);
2. persons who got married before reaching the age of majority.

Citizens mentioned in the list have the right to free movement, unaccompanied by adults, at any time of the day, regardless of season, climatic conditions and other factors.

Where is it allowed and forbidden to walk?

The legislation defines a list of locations closed to teenagers in Russia at night. At the moment, the child should not be alone at night:

• at the stadium;
• in the park;
• near the station or in its building;
• at a public transport stop;
• in retail outlets, near them;
• in entertainment establishments, such as cafes, restaurants, fast food outlets;
• in educational institutions (including cultural ones).

Moreover, the child is also prohibited from being on the street. In fact, the only place a minor can be during curfew is the home of his parents (or relatives).

Meanwhile, all the restrictions described above are canceled if the teenager is accompanied by his parents. In addition, the legislator allows the absence of parents if there is a trusted adult near children under 14 years of age and other ages.

What are the consequences of violation?

The current legislation of the Russian Federation provides for sanctions for minors staying on the street at night. To understand what this threatens, you need to familiarize yourself with the norms of the Administrative Code.

In accordance with this document, punishment is assigned to parents who commit such a violation. Article 5.35 of the Code of Administrative Offenses is devoted to this offense. Monetary fines are applied to the official guardians of a minor.

The size of the fine for violating curfew depends on the specific region and in 2020 ranges from 100 to 500 rubles.

If minors (or one teenager) are found unaccompanied by adults after 10 pm, the police officer is obliged to do the following:

• establish the identity of the minor;
• find out the details of his parents;
• return the teenager home.

It should be borne in mind that adolescents may be subject to interrogation, although under special conditions. For example, they do not face punishment if they provide false information.

Legal entities may also be liable. If institutions are to blame for children walking around unattended at night, they may be subject to a fine of 10,000 to 50,000 rubles.

Criticism of current restrictions

Not everyone likes the idea of ​​introducing a curfew for children under 18 years of age. Some critics of legislation regulating this area make significant claims against such restrictions.

Among the most significant nuances:

• the law restricts the rights of schoolchildren and junior students who, in an attempt to earn money, sometimes have to return home after a set time;
• children attend a variety of sports, educational and cultural clubs. Due to many factors, classes may be delayed until the evening;
• The restrictions described above fully apply to movement on public transport. According to the rules established by law, teenagers cannot use it during curfew, which significantly complicates the process of returning home.

All the nuances described above really take place. However, the curfew law is primarily aimed at protecting children from the bad influences and dangers that await them on the streets of cities at night. They are prohibited from being on the street at night unless accompanied by an adult. If this happens, parents will be fined.

Curfew for minors

Curfew now refers almost exclusively to night time, when minor citizens (usually under the age of 16) are prohibited from being on the street and in other public places without parents or trusted adults.

In addition, curfews are imposed in times of war, riots, natural disasters and other special cases. A curfew, that is, a ban on visiting the street and other public places at night, helps reduce crime and maintain public order, that is, it is a kind of guarantor of the safety of minors.

Curfew for minors

What is curfew

Curfew means a ban on staying on the street or in public places during a specific time period without special permission.

This restriction is usually introduced at the legislative level in dangerous times: during hostilities, in the case of a critical number of crimes, to maintain order and security during a state of emergency.

In peacetime, a curfew is relevant primarily for minors; its purpose in this case is to prevent children from appearing alone late in the evening and at night - after all, it is during these hours that most crimes are committed. Different constituent entities of the Russian Federation have established their own restriction conditions regarding the duration of the curfew and the age of the citizen.

Who is covered by the ban?

Also, the length of the curfew is determined by the number of years. As a standard, more lenient restrictions are set for persons over 16 years of age than for younger people.

When is the curfew in effect?

• In accordance with the general conditions that determine when a child can be on the street without hindrance, and when he needs to be at home, it is worth highlighting two points adopted throughout the country.
• The first applies to persons under 16 years of age - they have the right to stay away from home until 10 pm.
• The second applies to children aged 16 to 18 years - the ban on staying in comes into force after 11 pm.

Regardless of age, the restriction expires at 6am.

It is necessary to understand that the law allows citizens to be outside the walls of the house during curfew if there is a responsible person.

Who can be an accompanying person?

In order for minors to exercise their right to have a problem-free stay on the street during curfew, they need to seek escort from responsible persons, who, according to the law, can be the following citizens:

• parents or other legal representatives, be they: adoptive parents, guardians, etc.;
• employees of institutions where the child is in care;
• employees of guardianship and trusteeship authorities;
• persons implementing activities with the participation of children, whether they are: teachers, educators, doctors, curators or other people with sufficient authority to ensure control over minors and guarantee their safety.

To avoid problems with representatives of law enforcement agencies, the accompanying person must have with him a document confirming his status. For parents, a passport or birth certificate is sufficient; for employees of institutions, a special order or resolution from management.

Regional features

In the capital, Altai Territory and some other regions of the country, minors do not have the right to be on the street without special permission or an accompanying person from 10 pm to 6 am - from November 1 to the end of March, from 11 pm to 6 am - from April to October.

In St. Petersburg, there is a separate Law, according to which children cannot be on the street from 10 pm to 6 am - from September 1 to the end of May, from 11 pm to 6 am - from June 1 to the end of August. The ban does not apply during New Year's Eve, as well as during holidays that were organized by government departments or local governments of St. Petersburg.

The normative act does not apply to persons under 18 years of age if they have been declared emancipated by a court decision or have entered into an official marriage relationship.

In Bashkiria, the duration of the curfew has been reduced - minors can be on the street from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m.

In other regions, other restrictions related to local regulations apply. Typically, differences in prohibitions are associated with cultural characteristics and the attitude of the authorities and parents themselves to the need for this phenomenon.

Curfew violation

In cases where children cannot provide information about their place of residence, they go to the police department to clarify the necessary circumstances.

After employees contact the parents, the reasons why the child ended up on the street at the wrong time are established.

For the first violation, legal representatives will get off with a warning; in case of repeated non-compliance with accepted norms, a more effective sanction will be taken against them - a fine.

Its size and acceptable payment options are provided at the legislative level. The standard amount usually does not exceed 5 thousand rubles, although in most cases it is enough to pay up to 500 rubles.

The amount of recovery is determined taking into account specific circumstances:

• the place where the child was found;
• the time officers found the teenager;
• the fact that the child committed an unlawful act during curfew;
• the place where the parents were at that time, as well as their condition, is primarily assessed whether they consumed alcohol or drugs.

When detaining a child who is outside the home during prohibited hours, an authorized officer draws up a protocol that describes in detail all the circumstances of the discovery of a neglected minor. A copy of the document is given to legal representatives. If they disagree with this information, they can exercise the right of appeal to a higher authority or through a district court.

In any case, all information received about the offense, as well as a court decision or resolution of the authorized body, is necessarily reflected in the database of the internal affairs bodies.

If for parents the fine provided is not so significant, then in relation to institutions where a minor was staying during curfew, more significant amounts are established: up to 50 thousand rubles.

Consequences for parents

Unfortunately, not all parents strictly follow legal norms and rules, neglecting the responsibility of raising their own children and ignoring the provisions of the safety system for the younger generation, which ultimately often becomes the basis for quite negative consequences.

If this violation becomes systematic, the minor and parents are invited to participate in a special commission, which considers taking drastic measures, including deprivation of parental rights.

How does society feel about such restrictions?

Not all citizens are favorable to the curfew, believing that for children such a law is a direct violation of their interests and rights. The position on the need to pay a fine for a minor being in the wrong place at the wrong time is especially contested.

However, most of them supported this initiative, because at its core lies the desire of the state to protect the child from the influence of various negative factors, the existence of which can significantly damage the physiological, moral and mental development of a citizen. Also, with the help of this law, the goal is to reduce the number of cases involving minors in crimes, because it is at night that most illegal actions are committed.

Parents also note that the law does not provide for important nuances. There are schoolchildren and students who work part-time or attend additional educational courses, so they return home at a late time. For such situations, it is necessary to determine clarifications at the legislative level.

The first applies to persons under 16 years of age - they have the right to stay away from home until 10 pm.

The second applies to children aged 16 to 18 years - the ban on staying in comes into force after 11 pm.

Regardless of age, the restriction expires at 6am. It is necessary to understand that the law allows citizens to be outside the walls of the house during curfew if there is a responsible person.

Curfew orders are regulated by the Family Code and the Constitution of the Russian Federation. Since 2009, changes have been made to the Federal Law “On Basic Guarantees of the Rights of the Child in the Russian Federation”, defining the rules for minors being in public places at night. Children under 7 years of age should not be outside the home unaccompanied by an adult at any time of the day.

What is the curfew for minors? Persons under 18 years of age should return to their parents before 10 p.m.

Each subject of the Russian Federation independently establishes forbidden places to visit in accordance with local regulations and the criminal situation.

In addition, local governments may reduce restrictions at night based on the climatic and seasonal conditions of the area and the age of the persons to whom the law applies.

Who can be an accompanying person?

In order for minors to exercise their right to have a problem-free stay on the street during curfew, they need to seek escort from responsible persons, who, according to the law, can be the following citizens:

• parents or other legal representatives, be they: adoptive parents, guardians, etc.;
• employees of institutions where the child is in care;
• employees of guardianship and trusteeship authorities;
• persons implementing activities with the participation of children, whether they are: teachers, educators, doctors, curators or other people with sufficient authority to ensure control over minors and guarantee their safety.

To avoid problems with representatives of law enforcement agencies, the accompanying person must have with him a document confirming his status. For parents, a passport or birth certificate is sufficient; for employees of institutions, a special order or resolution from management.

Punishment for violators

If a minor is caught, the police carry out a number of standard actions - establish the child’s identity, address, contact phone number, and collect information about parents or other responsible persons. If adults cannot be found, the teenager is sent to a specialized institution.

Adults who irresponsibly let a child go at the wrong time are subject to punishment. For an administrative offense, a fine ranges from 100 rubles to 5,000. In case of repeated violation, the amount increases. Not only the parents and guardians of the caught teenager will have to pay money to the state.

Regional features

In the capital, Altai Territory and some other regions of the country, minors do not have the right to be on the street without special permission or an accompanying person from 10 pm to 6 am - from November 1 to the end of March, from 11 pm to 6 am - from April to October.

In St. Petersburg, there is a separate Law, according to which children cannot be on the street from 10 pm to 6 am - from September 1 to the end of May, from 11 pm to 6 am - from June 1 to the end of August. The ban does not apply during New Year's Eve, as well as during holidays that were organized by government departments or local governments of St. Petersburg.

The normative act does not apply to persons under 18 years of age if they have been declared emancipated by a court decision or have entered into an official marriage relationship.

In Bashkiria, the duration of the curfew has been reduced - minors can be on the street from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m.

In other regions, other restrictions related to local regulations apply. Typically, differences in prohibitions are associated with cultural characteristics and the attitude of the authorities and parents themselves to the need for this phenomenon.

Prohibited times in other countries

Focusing on the fundamental federal law, individual constituent entities of the Russian Federation independently establish time and age restrictions and the amount of monetary penalties for violating the law.

Saint Petersburg

On New Year's Eve, school graduations and official holidays, the curfew is lifted here.

At the age of 16, teenagers, like younger schoolchildren, are not allowed to walk at night until 10 pm during the school period (from September to May) and until 11 pm in the summer.

From 16 to 18 years of age, teenagers have the right to be in public places until 11 pm. Fines for parents start from a thousand rubles. In case of repeated violation, the amount increases to 5 thousand.

Komi Republic

The general procedure for observing the law on prohibited times applies here. Monetary penalties for irresponsible adults are more loyal - from 100 to 500 rubles.

Ulyanovsk region

There was a curfew in the region before. At the age of 16, children were prohibited from going outside unless accompanied by an adult. Since 2009, the age limit has increased to 18 years.

It's not just Russia that enforces curfews. At age 16, teenagers and younger children must be accompanied by an adult at night in many civilized countries. The main goal of foreign legislation is to combat youth crime and child alcoholism. In the United States, in addition to the nighttime ban, there is also a daytime curfew.

Violating curfew for children is the responsibility of parents

If a child is noticed by police officers or other authorized persons at a late time without accompaniment, then an administrative violation report is drawn up.

In this case, the police must first contact the parents or legal representatives of the teenager. If it is not possible to inform adults, the child is taken to the police station for further proceedings.

Police officers do not have the right to release a minor alone, so they either hand him over to legal representatives, if they were able to contact them, or take him home themselves.

Parents must provide an explanation why the minor was alone on the street at a late time.

If there is good cause, adults may be given a verbal warning. If police officers notice a violation of the law by a teenager more than once, parents or guardians are issued a fine.

Cases of violation of the law are considered by the commission on juvenile affairs. In addition to the fine, preventive measures are taken with parents and the child to prevent violations in the future.

When traveling to another region, you should take into account the curfew that applies in that region.

• If a minor violates local legislation, even if he is registered in another subject of the Russian Federation, his parents will bear full responsibility.
• It does not matter whether there is a curfew in the region where the family lives permanently.
• In cases where children cannot provide information about their place of residence, they go to the police department to clarify the necessary circumstances.

After employees contact the parents, the reasons why the child ended up on the street at the wrong time are established. For the first violation, legal representatives will get off with a warning; in case of repeated non-compliance with accepted norms, a more effective sanction will be taken against them - a fine.

The amount of recovery is determined taking into account specific circumstances:

• the place where the child was found;
• the time officers found the teenager;
• the fact that the child committed an unlawful act during curfew;
• the place where the parents were at that time, as well as their condition, is primarily assessed whether they consumed alcohol or drugs.

When detaining a child who is outside the home during prohibited hours, an authorized officer draws up a protocol that describes in detail all the circumstances of the discovery of a neglected minor. A copy of the document is given to legal representatives. If they disagree with this information, they can exercise the right of appeal to a higher authority or through a district court.

In any case, all information received about the offense, as well as a court decision or resolution of the authorized body, is necessarily reflected in the database of the internal affairs bodies.

1. If for parents the fine provided is not so significant, then in relation to institutions where a minor was staying during curfew, more significant amounts are established: up to 50 thousand rubles.
2. Unfortunately, not all parents strictly follow legal norms and rules, neglecting the responsibility of raising their own children and ignoring the provisions of the safety system for the younger generation, which ultimately often becomes the basis for quite negative consequences.
3. If this violation becomes systematic, the minor and parents are invited to participate in a special commission, which considers taking drastic measures, including deprivation of parental rights.

Not all citizens supported the government's decision to introduce prohibited time for teenagers. According to the authorities, frivolous parents do not want to pay fines for children walking at night.

Are there other reasons? The law was created to protect teenagers from negative factors affecting the mental, moral and even spiritual education of the younger generation.

The crime rate should decrease, because most abuse of minors occurs in the dark.

However, according to parents, the law does not take into account various nuances. Some high school and first-year students work part-time after classes and often return home by midnight.

Other young citizens attend sports and creative events that last until late. The ban on street travel at night includes the impossibility of traveling on public transport, which makes it difficult for teenagers to return home.

Apparently, the curfew law requires modification to take into account such circumstances.

Restrictions on the presence of teenagers without adult supervision are regulated by such regulations as:

• Family code;
• Constitution of the Russian Federation;
• Law No. 124-FZ of July 24, 1998.

In normative act No. 71-FZ dated April 20. 14 details the nuances of visiting public places by unaccompanied children and adolescents at night, including establishments where alcoholic beverages are sold.

The law on curfews for minors in Moscow and the region was adopted in 2009. It is intended to prevent harm to children and neglect.

• At the regional level, constituent entities of the Russian Federation have the right to make amendments to the law on temporary restrictions.
• Depending on the crime situation and other factors, local authorities may change the age of minors, the beginning and end of the curfew.
• It is also possible to expand the list of places where, at a certain time, adolescents should not be without adults.

How does society feel about such restrictions?

Not all citizens are favorable to the curfew, believing that for children such a law is a direct violation of their interests and rights. The position on the need to pay a fine for a minor being in the wrong place at the wrong time is especially contested.

However, most of them supported this initiative, because at its core lies the desire of the state to protect the child from the influence of various negative factors, the existence of which can significantly damage the physiological, moral and mental development of a citizen. Also, with the help of this law, the goal is to reduce the number of cases involving minors in crimes, because it is at night that most illegal actions are committed.

Parents also note that the law does not provide for important nuances. There are schoolchildren and students who work part-time or attend additional educational courses, so they return home at a late time. For such situations, it is necessary to determine clarifications at the legislative level.
