The Police are always parked in the lot. They have been on the scene and made arrests. Not sure how it is their fault.

Mall Management- yes, they need to step it up.

Looks like the curfew has been moved up to 3pm for those under 17.

Isn't there school? So they've essentially banned kids except weekends?

Let's be honest those kids arent going to school all fingers point back to the parents but we cant do that because we are no longer a society that believes in responsibility

But they are all misunderstood teens. They have trauma and need to do whatever they want. They need more restorative justice.

Thank goodness it’s not your problem anymore.

If I lived in the town, I would open a store in the mall called "Boxing Center" and let everyone who wants to fight come in and charge the other kids admission.

BOOM- problem solved! Win win

My dad used to do this...until Independence Center became a hot trash dumpster.

I am in class now. ..

I left a list of 3 things for the kids to do. They are doing them and being good and working.

This is what school should be

Most parents these days just give excuses to why their kid is a shithead. It's the schools. It's the tv. It's the video games. It's the government. On and on.

I don't have any kids because I know I'd be a shitty parent. That is the first step. Tons of people who don't want the responsibility, but they do it anyway.

When parents screw up and look in, they push all their resentment out, and blame others.

They do and in my opinion to many people become parents. How many people of the general population become parents? 95%? It should be more like 60%. Not everyone should have kids. That is the sad truth. If you value your hobbies and your freedom, don't have kids. Don't have kids just because society says you should, and be a shitty parent.

This goes a lot of different ways, schools and psychologists have gotten way over involved in parenting and coddling really. When I was a kid if I ****ed up I got the shit smacked out of me, these days they expect when your kid ****s up that you should hug them and tell them it's ok.

Society in general turned children into these little cult objects that should be worshipped and coddled and it's created a real problem.

Yeah I think that is good and bad. There isn't a one size fits all. Some kids will take advantage of that and become lazy and/or act out. Some kids need the coddling to succeed. Others need the scolding. I think the one size fits all approach is not the best method.

But this is why you see the serious issues with some kids these days, there aren't any serious punishments anymore.

This to me is where it starts, when I was in school if I didn't turn something in on time it was a zero, now they can turn shit in late as hell and get credit, it just teaches them they don't have to follow any guidelines.
