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.

... 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.

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?

The way I see it, 90% of the teens that are not causing any trouble at all now have to pay for the actions of a few feral hooligans.

If one mall cracks down, they herd of unsupervised yoots will pop up at the next nearest mall where public transportation stops.

The root of the problem is that there are very few nuclear families in inner city communities. Not sure you can fix that at the mall, police station, courthouse or jail.

Here are my thoughts on this ridiculous policy:

What if a 16 year old thug is accompanied by a 20 year old sibling who is also a thug? What good would this “policy” do? Not very much in my humble opinion.

I know other FReepers say a similar policy has worked in their area malls, but Monroeville is overrun with young, black “hoodies”. Not sure about other places.

They must have observed that “teens” are the ones perpetrating the violence.

Bill Clinton is willing to work as an escort for troubled teens if the pay is good enough and they are old enough to consent. < /s >
