Pittsburgh’s Youth Curfew Under Fire | Pittsburgh News
Description
Pittsburgh’s Market Square is heating up — both literally and legally — after a new curfew for minors sparked backlash and a lawsuit. The city’s unofficial rule, requiring teens under 18 to be with an adult from 3 p.m. to midnight Thursday through Sunday, was allegedly enforced without council approval or public notice. A grandparent’s lawsuit claims the policy targets youth, violates free assembly rights, and led to a child being pepper-sprayed — demanding the curfew be scrapped and police stop using pepper spray on minors. The mayor remains silent as the legal battle unfolds, raising big questions about youth rights and urban policing.
