I'm not sure what a weekend night restriction on unaccompanied teens is going to do, but I suppose it will give the mall police another preemptive tool.

If they are unable/unwilling to behave in a civilized manner, why should civilization allow them the privileges of civilized citizens?

It isn’t “teens” that is the problem. Most young people can be totally trusted at the mall. It’s only a certain few...
As long as the malls have sneaker stores, and stores that play rap loud, there will be problems.
Bookstores and work boot stores don’t attract trouble.

They’ve been doing this for years at the Mall of America.
If you want people with money to visit your store, they need to feel safe doing so.

I would allow the teens to come to the mall if they have a permission slip signed by their FATHER.

They do if they are close to the places that play loud rap music and sell sneakers. This weekend’s incident happened at Macy’s.

... teens visiting on weekend nights soon will need to be accompanied by an adult.
My local mall (Greece NY) started doing this at least 2-3 years ago. From personal observation it made a visible difference (fewer thugs), so I assume a difference in violence as well.

because of concerns over drugs and violence moving east from Pittsburgh Who wants to buy or sell drugs out on the freezing streets when you can do it in a nice, comfortable mall? And maybe entertain yourself by peering in at the windows and admiring the goods, or maybe going in and pocketing a few of them?

Fight Saturday at Ross Park Mall (another Pittsburgh area mall). I hope Ross is a different issue and isolated, as I have family and friends who live in this area.

To: Vigilanteman
Not sure how this rule will be enforced. Will security stop everyone going into the mall to see if they are smuggling in underage strangers?
To: Vigilanteman
Wasnt this the mall where they shot the 1978 movie dawn of the dead?
To: PghBaldy
These occurrences will happen at every mall until the owners get serious about security. I understand Monroeville Mall had consulted with a security firm but rejected the firm’s recommendations. No doubt the recommendations cost money to implement.
To: MNDude
The “problem teens” would have a hard time getting that, given that daddy is either in prison or nowhere to be found. Methinks that’s your point. ;-)
