 To the D.C. area, summer hours for the city's youth curfew are now in effect. It allows kids to stay out an hour later during the week for July and August. Those under 17 years of age will have to be home seven days a week between 12.01 a.m. and 6 a.m. Many support the idea of a curfew, though there are differing opinions about how it's enforced and what activities are available for children.
