* Local laws: Many municipalities have curfew laws that restrict minors' nighttime activities. These curfews vary widely, sometimes differing based on the minor's age and the day of the week (school nights vs. weekends). Some places may have no curfew at all.
* Parental rules: Even if there's no legal curfew, parents have the right to set their own rules about when their children must be home. This is often stricter than any legal requirement.
* Specific circumstances: A minor might be allowed out later for a school event, supervised activity (sports practice, etc.), or with parental permission for a specific reason.
To find out the specific curfew for a minor in a particular location, you'll need to check the local ordinances or contact the local police department. It's always best for minors to err on the side of caution and be home before any legally imposed or parentally set curfew.
