美国各地越来越多的城市正试图打击所谓的“青少年占领事件”——即大批年轻人聚集在公共场所，活动通常是响应线上邀约。这类活动中已有多起以暴力、逮捕甚至致命枪击收场。
北卡罗来纳州夏洛特市正在考虑为所有18岁以下民众推行晚上9点宵禁，以限制这类占领事件的数量。
据市议员丹特·安德森透露，仅自5月以来，夏洛特-梅克伦堡警方就已追踪到40多起青少年占领事件。
“这主要是针对在公共场所大规模聚集的年轻人，”安德森周四在《CBS早间新闻》节目中表示，“我们曾有一名15岁少年遭枪击身受重伤。我们目睹这类青少年占领活动中发生暴力事件。这不仅是为了保护城市，更主要是为了保护年轻人。”
7月10日在夏洛特大学城海滨步道发生的一起青少年占领事件最终导致12名未成年人被捕。据夏洛特CBS附属机构WBTV报道，另有10名家长收到传票。警方告诉WBTV，当时约有200至300名年轻人到场。
夏洛特-梅克伦堡警察局局长埃斯特拉·帕特森在本周的市议会听证会上提出了提前宵禁时间的计划。目前，13岁以下儿童的宵禁时间为晚上10点，13至15岁青少年的宵禁时间为晚上11点。
“我非常担忧，如果我们不能掌控（青少年占领事件），后果可能会致命，”帕特森周一对议员们说道。
在佛罗里达州，州政府官员如副州长杰伊·柯林斯则采取了不同的应对手段打击占领事件。
佛罗里达州彭萨科拉市独立日当晚发生的一起青少年占领事件最终酿成致命后果，警方称当时有7人中枪，一名19岁男子身亡。警察局长埃里克·温斯特伦透露，当时数百人聚集在彭萨科拉市中心，部分人发生斗殴并燃放烟花。
“追责是我们能做的头等大事，”柯林斯在《CBS早间新闻》中表示，“我们要追查真正策划这类活动、将民众置于危险境地的组织者。归根结底，我们不希望看到任何人受伤。家长们，请务必确保您的孩子行事得当。”
Cities propose new tactics, laws to eliminate so-called “teen takeovers”

A growing number of cities across the United States are trying to crack down on so-called “teen takeovers,” when large crowds of young people gather in a public place — often in response to online invites. Some of these events have ended with violence, arrests and even deadly shootings.
Charlotte, North Carolina, is considering a 9 p.m. curfew for anyone under 18 as a way to limit the number of these takeovers.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg police have tracked over 40 teen takeovers just since May, according to Councilwoman Danté Anderson.
“This is really speaking to young people who are congregating in public spaces and in large groups,” Anderson told “CBS Mornings” on Thursday. “We had a 15-year-old who was shot and deeply injured. We’ve seen violence occur at these teen takeovers. It is a protection not only for the city, but primarily for the young people.”
A teen takeover on July 10 at Charlotte’s University City Boardwalk ended with 12 minors being arrested. Ten parents were also cited, according to Charlotte CBS affiliate WBTV. About 200 to 300 young people were at the event, police told WBTV.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Estella Patterson pitched the plan to make the curfew earlier than its current time at a city council hearing this week. Currently, children under 13 have a 10 p.m. curfew while 13 to 15 have an 11 p.m. curfew.
“I am very concerned that if we don’t get a handle on [teen takeovers], the consequences may become fatal,” Patterson told councilors on Monday.
In Florida, state leaders like Lt. Gov. Jay Collins are taking a different approach to combat takeovers.
A teen takeover on the night of the Fourth of July turned deadly in Pensacola, Florida, when seven people were shot and a 19-year-old was killed, according to police. Hundreds of people had gathered in downtown Pensacola, with some getting into fights and shooting off fireworks, according to Police Chief Eric Winstrom.
“Accountability is the number one thing we can do,” Collins told “CBS Mornings.” “We’re going for the organizers who actually put this together and put people at risk. And, ultimately, we don’t want to see anybody get injured. Parents, please make sure your kids do the right thing.”
