Laurel’s Summer Curfew for Teens

Laurel, Maryland, just rolled out a summer curfew for teens under 18, locking down public spaces from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. between June 18 and September 8 — with exceptions for kids with guardians, those heading home from events, or those with work proof. Mayor Keith Sydnor says it’s all about safety, family support, and keeping the community welcoming — echoing Baltimore’s four-year-old model that targets youth crime. Police will enforce it, and parents will be notified if their teen gets caught. It’s a bold, balancing act: freedom for kids, security for everyone.
