Cities, towns nationwide revive teen curfews amid summer crowds

With summer festivities ramping up, many cities and towns are reintroducing teen curfews and beefing up police presence to handle a surge in large gatherings and fights among teenagers, often coordinated via social media. This move highlights growing concerns about public safety during crowded events like July Fourth celebrations. While these measures aim to curb potential disturbances, they also reflect broader worries about youth behavior and the impact of social media on organizing large, unsupervised events.
