First Curfew Citations Rock Winston-Salem | Winston–Salem News

Winston-Salem’s new youth curfew hits hard—literally—when a 15-year-old and his mom became the first to get cited under the new rule, even though the teen had no idea it existed. The curfew bans minors under 16 from being out between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. on weeknights, and 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. on weekends, with parents now on the hook for fines and community service if their kids break it. The mom, who wasn’t even present during the stop, still got slapped with a $50 fine and 25 hours of service. This high-profile case is the first real test of the ordinance—and it’s already sparking debate over enforcement and accountability.
