Winston-Salem Imposes Youth Curfew

Winston-Salem just slapped a midnight curfew on teens 17 and under—no one under 18 can be out between 10 PM and 6 AM unless with a parent. The city council voted 5-3 to pass it, citing safety concerns during late-night hours. Exceptions include work, emergencies, or school-related activities. Police plan to start with warnings, not jail, but adults who help teens break the curfew could face fines and misdemeanor charges. It’s a temporary measure, ending October 12th—just a short-term fix to see if it works. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
