Chapter 207 : Juveniles
It shall be unlawful for any person age 17 or under to be on foot, bicycle or in any type of vehicle on any public street, avenue, highway, road, alley, park, school grounds, place of amusement and entertainment, cemetery, playground, public building or any other public place in the Village of Theresa during periods specified as follows:
Between June 1 and September 1, between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m.
Between September 2 and May 31, between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m.
At any time in conjunction with school activities, athletic events and school dances, between the hours of 12:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.; the provisions of this subsection shall apply only to such children in attendance and participating in the above-enumerated activities.
This curfew for persons age 17 or under shall not apply to such minor accompanied by his or her parent or guardian or person having lawful custody and control of his or her person, or unless there exists a reasonable necessity therefor. The fact that said child, unaccompanied by a parent, guardian or other person having legal custody, is found upon any such public place during the aforementioned hours shall be prima facie evidence that said child is there unlawfully and that no reasonable excuse exists therefor.
Parental responsibility. It shall be unlawful for any parent, guardian or other person having the lawful care, custody and control of any person under age 18 to allow or permit such person to violate the provisions of Subsection A or B above. The fact that prior to the present offense a parent, guardian or custodian was informed by any law enforcement officer of a separate violation of this section occurring within 30 days of the present offense shall be prima facie evidence that such parent, guardian or custodian allowed or permitted the present violation. Any parent, guardian or custodian herein who shall have made a missing person notification to the Police Department shall not be considered to have allowed or permitted any person under age 17 to violate this section.
Every law enforcement officer while on duty is hereby authorized to take into custody any child violating the provisions of Subsection A above. Children taken into custody shall be released from custody as soon as is reasonably possible. A person taking a child into custody shall make every effort immediately to release the child to the child's parent, guardian, or legal custodian or, if the parent, guardian, or legal custodian is unavailable, unwilling, or unable to provide supervision for the child, may release the child to a responsible adult and verbally counsel or warn, as may be appropriate, or, in the case of a runaway child, may release the child to a home authorized under § 48.227, Wis. Stats. The parent, guardian, legal custodian, or other responsible adult to whom the child is released shall sign a release for the child.
If the child is not released under this subsection, the officer shall deliver the child to the County Juvenile Court Intake Worker in a manner determined by the court and law enforcement agencies, stating in writing with supporting facts the reasons why the child was taken into physical custody and giving any child 12 years of age or older a copy of the statement in addition to giving a copy to the Intake Worker. A juvenile violating these curfews regularly may be warned by an officer on duty in his discretion and sent home in lieu of taking the juvenile into custody.
If the child is believed to be suffering from a serious physical condition which requires either prompt diagnosis or prompt treatment, the officer shall take such action as is required under § 48.20(4), Wis. Stats. If the child is believed to be mentally ill, drug dependent, or developmentally disabled and exhibits conduct which constitutes a substantial risk of physical harm to the child or to others, the officer shall take such action as is required under § 48.20(5), Wis. Stats. If the child is believed to be an intoxicated person who has threatened, attempted, or inflicted physical harm on himself or herself or on another and is likely to inflict such physical harm unless committed or is incapacitated by alcohol, the officer shall take such action as is required under § 48.20(6), Wis. Stats.
[Amended 8-1-2005 by Ord. No. 1-10]

The parent, guardian or person having legal custody of a child who is taken into custody by a law enforcement officer as provided in Subsection D above shall be advised as to the provisions of this section.

It shall be unlawful for any person under the age of 18 to possess a controlled substance contrary to the Uniform Controlled Substances Act, Ch. 961, Wis. Stats.

Subsection B(2) above does not apply to a person who has under his or her control a child who has been sanctioned under § 49.26(1)(h), Wis. Stats., nor does it apply if the person proves that he or she is unable to comply with Subsection B(1) because of the disobedience of the child.
