Mall: Minors must be with adult on weekend nights

Bloomington - teenage ceremony - hanging around at the mall - adult supervision is required soon

After the child has problems, the new policy of Bloomington Eastland Shopping Center requires parents or guardians to accompany minors from 6 pm. On Friday and Saturday, general manager David Kate said on Wednesday

Mr. Kate said at a press conference in the morning, "We like young people and want to shop here." "We ordered exactly six people after 72 hours of shopping, and their parents are with them."

We have been dealing with concerns from store owners and mall customers complaining that many weekend not-supervised young people are having trouble and making shoppers uneasy. According to Cate, teenagers who were not supervised occupied about 60% of banning or arresting the mall on Friday and Saturday nights.

Mr. Sara Mayer, spokesman for public relations, said that Bloomington police responded to 776 phone calls from Eastland in 2012, and this year it has been calling 360 calls so far. The police could not explain how many underage minors occurred in the mall.

Mr. Meyer said police will strengthen the patrols to support shopping malls as new policies are enforced.

According to Mr. Kate, the mall plans to strengthen its security policy and execute a new policy, but he says he does not know how much. Security personnel are posted at the five entrances to the mall to screen minors entering the mall and provide identification to prove their age if necessary.

Mall 's public address system broadcasts messages through the transceiver at 5 PM. Instruct young customers to complete shopping or ask parents to shop together on Friday and Saturday.

The Mole Hole gift shop manager, Julie Ewan saw the fight of undoubtedly young people. She said that policy would benefit shoppers and mall tenants.

"We saw a fight in front of the store," Ivan said. "As a parent, I do not want my daughter to go out on Friday night."

Champagne Tim Wright and Michelle Stephens shopped their 14 - year - old son and 11 - year - old daughter at the shopping mall late Wednesday afternoon. They agree with this policy

Bloomington Mall 's 40 - year old customer, Jenny Sheton, expressed dissatisfaction with this policy and said he understands parents' concerns, but he does not see the secure exchange of teenagers.

The parent company of this mall, CBL & Associates (Chattanooga, Tenn.), Operates 97 shopping centers throughout the country. Kate said that it developed a similar policy at around 10 of them.

Cindy Patterson, marketing manager, says ordinary university hill shops do not have similar problems, and they do not consider such a policy. I do not own CBL

Many shopping centers in the U.S. do not allow minors of a certain age to enter the shopping mall after a certain period unless parents and other adults are accompanied or working at a shopping mall during curfew It sets out a policy to prohibit. These policies are known as the mall curfew. Shopping malls that prohibit unaccompanied minors' policies at any time are called parent escorting policies. States and municipalities in the United States may impose a curfew on the entire population, usually due to severe weather or political instability. Some curfews require that not all citizens drive. Except for those who give important positions such as elected officials, law enforcement officers, emergency response personnel, health care workers, mass media, others, other people are urging all citizens to stay.

Whenever I visit Nanjo Shopping Center, I am confused by tight people. You have to make sure that thousands or more people go to the mall everyday and the number of weekends reaches 100,000! It is unthinkable to visit a food court on Sunday or go to Spencer to buy groceries. You will not do anything, the whole group of you and your friends will only go to the nearest shopping mall to kill time. Children also like to travel to shopping malls. Unfortunately, children of these days are not loyal supporters of outdoor activities ... Recent typical family trips include movie family tours, some shops, and food. Light meals in the plaza and restaurant. At the mall, then go home. Every weekend, the destination is a different mall
