Specially concurring.

I concur in my colleagues’ majority opinion with one reservation. In J.P. v. State, 832 So.2d 110 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002), on which today’s ruling is based, I wrote a concurring opinion stressing that in my view it is an open question whether the city’s interest in protecting children’s welfare can ever justify a blanket prohibition against them leaving their homes during specified hours. Thus, as I did in that case, I agree that this ordinance is unconstitutional for at least the reasons described in the J.P. majority opinion.

ON REMAND FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF FLORIDA

J.A. appeals the trial court’s adjudication of delinquency for violating Tampa’s juvenile curfew ordinance. See Tampa, Fla.Code § 14 — 26(c) (1996). He argues that the ordinance is unconstitutional. This court, previously rejected his argument and affirmed the trial court’s determination that the ordinance was constitutional. See J.A. v. State, 779 So.2d 390 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000), quashed 788 So.2d 953 (Fla. 2001).’ In affirming the trial, court, this court applied the heightened scrutiny test. See State v. T.M., 761 So.2d 1140 (Fla. 2d DCA. 2000), quashed, 784 So.2d 442 (Fla. 2001). However, this court also certified two questions to the Florida Supreme Court as being of great public importance:

WHAT LEVEL QF SCRUTINY MUST A COURT APPLY WHEN REVIEWING THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF A JUVENILE CURFEW ORDINANCE?

WHETHER THE TAMPA JUVENILE CURFEW ORDINANCE IS CONSTITUTIONAL?

Upon review, the Florida Supreme Court answered the first question by directing that the proper test for determining the constitutionality of a juvenile curfew ordinance is strict scrutiny. Accordingly,1 'without ■ answering the second question, the, supreme court remanded this matter back to this court for application of the strict scrutiny test. ' See J.A. v. State, 788 So.2d 953 (Fla. 2001).

For the reasons stated in J.P. v. State, 832 So.2d 110 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002), we find that the Tampa ordinance is unconstitutional and reverse the adjudication of delinquency. However, we again certify to *116the Florida Supreme Court the following question to be of great public importance:

WHETHER THE TAMPA JUVENILE CURFEW ORDINANCE IS CONSTITUTIONAL?

Reversed.
