No person between the ages of 14 years through 17 years shall remain upon any street, alley, park or other public place in the City of Manawa between 11:00 p.m. on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays and 6:00 a.m. the next day and between 12:00 midnight on Fridays and Saturdays and 6:00 a.m. the next day. No person under the age of 14 years shall loiter, idle or remain upon any street or alley or other public place in the city between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. the next day. 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.
B. 
Exceptions.
(1) 
This section shall not apply to a child:
(a) 
Who is, until the hour of 12:30 a.m., performing an errand as directed by his or her parent, guardian or person having lawful custody.
(b) 
Who is, until the hour of 12:30 a.m., on his or her own premises or in the areas immediately adjacent thereto.
(c) 
Who is accompanied by his or her parent, legal guardian or other responsible person who is over the age of 18 and approved by the individual's parent or legal guardian.
(d) 
At any time in the event of an emergency which would justify the reasonableness of the individual's presence.
(e) 
Who is pursuing the duties of his or her employment, but the individual must be carrying a written statement from the employer attesting to the place and hours of employment.
(f) 
Who is coming directly home from a meeting or a place of public entertainment, such as a movie, play, school, church or sporting event. This exception will apply for 1/2 hour after the completion of such event, but in no case beyond 12:30 a.m. If the event is not commercial in nature or does not have a fixed, publicly known time at which it will end, the sponsoring organization must register the event with the Police Department at least 24 hours in advance, informing it of the time such event is scheduled to be, the place at which it shall be held, the time at which it shall end and the name of the sponsoring organization.

C. 
It shall be unlawful for any parent, guardian or other person having the lawful care, custody and control of any person under 18 years of age 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 18 years of age to violate this section.
D. 
It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or organization operating or in charge of any place of amusement, entertainment, refreshment or other place of business to permit any minor under 18 years of age to loiter, loaf or idle in such place during the hours prohibited by this section. Whenever the owner or person in charge or in control of any place of amusement, entertainment, refreshment or other place of business during the hours prohibited by this section shall find persons under 18 years of age loitering, loafing or idling in such place of business, he or she shall immediately order such person to leave, and if such person refuses to leave said place of business, the operator shall immediately notify the Police Department and inform it of the violation.
E. 
Every law enforcement officer is hereby authorized to detain any minor violating the provisions above until such time as the parent, guardian or person having legal custody of the minor shall be immediately notified, and the person so notified shall as soon as reasonably possible thereafter report to the Police Department for the purpose of taking the custody of the minor and shall sign a release for him or her. If no response is received, the police shall take whatever action is deemed necessary in the best interest of the minor.
F. 
The first time a minor, parent, guardian or person having legal custody of a minor is detained by a law enforcement officer of the city, as provided in Subsection E, such minor, parent, guardian or person having such legal custody shall be advised personally, if known, or by registered mail as to the provisions of this section and further advised that any violation of this section occurring thereafter by this minor or any other minor under his or her care or custody shall result in a penalty being imposed as hereinafter provided.
G.
