OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — “In by 10” is a grassroots initiative backed by law enforcement, the District Attorney’s Office, and community leaders, following the recent string of violence among teens plaguing the metro.
“For the next 90 days, three months, we are asking every parent, every grandparent, every guardian to ensure that their children are home by 10 p.m.,” Pastor Derrick Scobey said.
Associate District Judge Angela Singleton works in the juvenile division and shared statistics on the number of youth booked into the Oklahoma County Detention Center since January 2023.
“About over 700 of our young people have come into the detention center between the hours of 6 p.m. and 8 a.m. and 37% of our young people that enter into the detention center come in after midnight,” Singleton said.
