‘Teen takeovers’: Charlotte leaders move to revise curfew as minors ask where they’re supposed to go
About this episode
The episode discusses the rise of 'teen takeovers' in Charlotte and Raleigh, the proposed curfew for minors, and potential solutions for safe spaces.
‘Teen takeovers’ have become a nuisance in cities like Charlotte and Raleigh, with large groups of teenagers gathering in public spaces, causing disruption and sometimes engaging in destructive behavior. CMPD now recommends a 9 p.m. curfew for all minors. We look at how that curfew would be enforced, what is contributing to the gatherings, and possible solutions for providing safe spaces for minors.
