8 p.m. curfew for minors in Abbeville?

Thu, 03/16/2023 - 9:58am

With summer fast approaching and daylight lasting longer, children are expected play outside longer. On Tuesday, Abbeville Councilman Francis Touchet Jr. is looking to change the hours for the city’s curfew ordinance for minors, coupled with attaching a fine that the parents or legal guardian must pay if their child is caught breaking the curfew.
The curfew ordinance for minors states that minors under 17 have a curfew from Sunday through Thursday at 10 p.m. They have to be off the streets from 10 p.m. until 5 a.m.
