Forget It Jake, It's Baltimore

Or Glen Burnie, close enough. Jazz Shaw at Hat Hair, Baltimore Mall to Ban Unsupervised Teens on Weekends. Will it Work?

The Arundel Mills shopping mall located south of Baltimore has run into more than its fair share of trouble this year, frequently involving misbehaving or even criminal teenagers. Security services at the mall report that they have responded to 19 reports of assault, six robberies, eight disorderly conduct calls, and 18 thefts involving underage suspects just in 2024. Customers have been complaining and foot traffic is down significantly, particularly on weekends when most of these incidents take place. Now the mall is preparing to take action with a new policy aimed at curbing crime by unsupervised minors. Starting in a few weeks they will introduce a new "Youth Supervision Policy." On Fridays and Saturdays, anyone under the age of 18 will have to leave and stay out of the mall after 3 p.m. unless they are accompanied by an adult at least 21 years of age. ID will be required to enforce the new rules. But will this work? (CBS News)

No, next question.
