Waipahu follows Hawaii state juvenile curfew under HRS 577-16. Children under 16 cannot be in public places between 10 pm and 4 am without a parent or guardian.
Honolulu has not enacted a separate county juvenile-curfew ordinance, so HRS Sec. 577-16 applies throughout Waipahu. The statute prohibits children under 16 from being in public streets, highways, or places of amusement between 10:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. unless accompanied by a parent, guardian, or adult designated by the parent. HRS Sec. 577-21 allows counties to supersede by ordinance, but Honolulu has not. Parents may face penalties for knowingly permitting violations. This matters for Waipahu's many multi-generational Filipino households where older siblings may be tempted to supervise younger minors at night.
Minors in violation can be cited, and parents who knowingly permit violations may face statutory penalties.
