How late is too late for children playing outside?

The kids in my area are out until 10:30 - 11pm at night and they're only 6-12 years old. Is that too late for kids to be out? The screaming is unreal when you're trying to watch a movie or sleep for work. I don't know if it's because I'm getting old and cranky or...what do you think? Should there be some law and order against this type of thing?

In the door by 7.30 on a school night. Their parents must be drug or alcohol users.

Not getting old and cranky 🙂. 9.30 to 10pm would be the latest especially in an estate. Not everyone works 9-5 Monday to Friday. Have to be aware that neighbours could be on shiftwork, elderly, sick and even just want some peace and quiet at night.

I don't know but kids screaming their heads off for hours seems to be the thing these days. The louder the better especially during during the lockdowns.

6-12… bit of a spread there. Younger ones 8 pm max Id say. Older ones, 9:30 max
