Parents of teens who break curfew in D.C. will be prosecuted, DOJ says - The Washington Post
Overview
The Justice Department announced it will prosecute parents of teenagers who break curfew in Washington, D.C., part of a broader enforcement push to secure the capital ahead of America's 250th anniversary events. Officials framed the policy as a way to deter youth crime and protect large public gatherings, but critics say criminalizing parents raises concerns about fairness and civil liberties. This enforcement move joins other federal 250th preparations and could add to political debate over how the government is using its authority for the celebrations.
