No I haven't been their recently. I'm not too upset if a little kid can't be their without an adult because they are little and can't protect themselves nor do the have a way to get their. I feel sad for the teens who can drive and have every right to be their by themselves but aren't allowed to go in because the Tower City assumes that they will misbehave. Most teens aren't going to act out as it is. I was glad to hear that the teens already working there are still going to keep their jobs, they are just being given a special pass.

I guess the stores that have teen employees may have to come up with special badges to prove that they work in Tower City. The "show me your papers" statement is already a reality in America and we have to get use to it Polarbear if we like it or not. Now you need a passport to leave and returning to US from Canada and Mexico. Let face it people, the times they are changing.

there sales will drop when christmas shopping starts...then they be starting to wonder why there profits are so low.

I agree there is a problem with out of control kids at the mall, I've seen it on a few occasions at a certain Akron area mall. However, I think this story shows the stupidity of "zero-tolerance laws". The mall is trying a "one size fits all" cure to a problem. Let's ban all kids under 18. They say there are fights in the mall sometimes, now we'll just have fights outside the mall or elsewhere.

All I see is the mall putting a Band-Aid over a bullet wound. Instead of banning all kids, there should be the proper security and police ready to deal with shoplifters and any other incidents.

How hard is it for a parent to take their kids there to shop? Have you ever tried to walk through the malls when groups of teenagers wont step to the side and act like they have the right away no matter where your walking? The cursing and fighting will be cut down alot, when they will have to act like that in front of their own parents...If there weren't so many unsupervised children; there wouldn't be so many problems. YAY to the ban...I'm loving that they are cleaning out the trash. They need to do it in more places.

Katherine kids today if they don't a place to 'hang out' like a mall they might go somewhere else and fight to kill someone or rob them...and then the question would be why were they there?. almost everyone in this blog is thinking about themselves but not once when there were a kid. not once to actually understand being a kid today with these restrictions.

Mars83---actually, I was thinking about when I was a kid. I guess since I'm only 25, I can remember those days well. Maybe I was just lucky to have a family that cared, but my parents never let me go run wild anywhere. I couldn't go to the mall and cause trouble unless I was with my mom or dad or friends parents.
---If the "kids" go hang out somewhere else and kill someone or rob them, then it will point out even more who the BAD PARENTS are, not just the kids.
The point I'm trying to make is...when any of us go to the mall, and, I'm bringing my 3 babies with me; I dont want to see a bunch of unsupervised teenagers "hanging out". And all the times I've seen these groups of kids...not one of them has a bag like they bought something. They teenagers that are going there without their parents-- are either up at the mall to steal or doing other things behind their parents backs.
This ban is the best thing to happen and they need to do it more places!

Their BUTTS should be in school getting an education! TOO BAD!
