WEBVTT MORNING. GOOD MORNING, MEG. >> MORNING, JASON. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, A LOT OF REACTION ON THIS. A LOT OF US CAN RELATE TO BEING A TEENAGER AND GOING TO THE MALL WITH FRIENDS. YOU ADD A PARENTS AND IT SORT OF TAKES THE FUN OUT OF IT. BUT THEY'RE DOING HERE AT TOWSON TOWN CENTER WHAT SO MANY MALLS HAVE DONE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. HAVING A STRICTER CURFEW AROUND THE HOLIDAYS. THEY'VE HAD AN IS YOUR-- CURFEW IN THE PAST. THE HOURS HAVE BEEN EXTENDED. ANYONE UNDERAGE OF 17 MUST BE WITH A PARENT OR ADULT OVER AGE 21. IT'S IT EMERY AND THOSE CHANGES IN EFFECT THROUGH TUESDAY, JANUARY 1ST. PART OF THE THOUGHT OF THAT, THERE ARE JUST A LOT OF PEOPLE SHOPPING AT THE MALL AND CERTAINLY A LOT OF KIDS OUT OF SCHOOL WHO ARE THERE. THE COMPANY THAT MANAGES THE MALL IS CALLING THIS THE NEW PARENTAL GUIDANCE REQUIREMENT AND BASICALLY REQUIRES THAT PERSON OR ADULT OR PERSON OVER 21, A PARENT HAS TO BE WITH THE PERSON AND ONE ADULT MAY ACCOMPANY UP TO FOUR YOUTHS. ALL YOUTHS WITH SOMEONE HAVE TO BE WITH THAT SUPERVISING ADULT AT ALL TIMES. THE PROBLEM IS A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO SPEND MONEY AT THE MALLS ARE TEENAGERS. SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THE CONUNDRUM WHEN WE TALK TO A LOT OF SHOPPERS AND THEY SAY THEY UNDERSTAND THE POLICY AND THEY SUPPORT IT, BUT IT IS A DIFFICULT ISSUE TO SOLVE. >> IF YOU'RE TRYING TO JUST SHOP AND GET IN AND OUT AND A BUNCH OF KIDS ROAMING AROUND FIGHTING OR CARRYING ON IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT AND MAKES YOUR SHOPPING TRIP GO SMOTHER IF THEY'RE ACCOMPANIED BY AN ADULT BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE OUT OF CONTROL IN THE MALL. THEY WILL BE THERE FOR WHAT THEY'RE THERE FOR. >> MANAGEMENT SAY THEY DO THIS BECAUSE THEY WANT EVERYONE TO HAVE AN ENJOYABLE SHOPPING EXPERIENCE. AGAIN, IT'S A TEMPORARY BAN, BUT THEY SAY THAT SECURITY HERE AT THE MALL CAN BASICALLY ASK FOR I.D. AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE WITHIN THE REQUIREMENTS THAT THEY HAVE SET UNTIL NEXT WEEK. AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE THAT IDENTIFICATION TO PROOF IT, THEN YOU CAN BE ASKED TO LEAVE. REPORTING LIVE IN TOWSON, MEGAN PRINGLE TV 11 NEWS. JASON: AN UPDATE ON THE TEEN KILLED IN ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY.
