Comment: Yes if they cant behave make them go home. One bad apple can spoil the bunch and I know the mall dont want to do that. Because not all are rowdy, But safety is at hand from columbus ohio by akila

Comment: Absolutely- but not 6pm. That's a little unreasonable. Other than watching a movie, there isn't much else to do at a mall after 8pm. from Columbus,OH by Jenna

Comment: I would not be opposed to this kind of a ban. I feel that being a teen hangout added to the demise of City Center. I used to go to this mall to shop all of the time. Towards the end it became a big hangout for very intimidating teenagers that made me feel uneasy about shopping there. PS: I would like to see you take the coffee break poll back to a daily poll. It is too boring having to wait the entire week for comments. The daily ones allowed for better subjects. from Grandview Heights, OH by Linda

Comment: Yes I think they should. Alot of people, older and younger alike just dont feel safe, there out of there homes trying to shop with all these thugs just hanging like vultures by Rod

Comment: ABSOLUTELY!!!!! Long overdue. from Thornville, OH

Comment: Yes, Malls are certainly entitled to set whatever rules they want. People forget that malls are NOT public property, and if loitering by disruptive groups is hurting sales, they are absolutely right to do it. However, most of the teens in my family worked at the mall in the evenings, especially over the summer. I wonder what they will do for them. from Columbus, OH by Valerie

Comment: The mall was not built to babysit your teen! People need to start taking responsibility for their kids.That is why I, a cash paying customer will not go near a mall on friday,saturday or sunday. by S.

Comment: I think that it is a very good idea that at least someone takes the initiative to combat this. It is a shame that business owners have to force parents to "parent" their children when they can not. from Columbus, Ohio by William

Comment: Yes, as parents today are not taking an active part in raising their own children...DUHHH from Ohio by Emilie

Comment: Totally agree with this! I can't believe it has taken this long for something like this to happen! I just can't wait until this rule comes to Columbus, Ohio, so when I go to the mall I don't have to worry about a million teenagers just hangin around. from Circleville, Ohio by Kayleigh

Comment: no because some of the kids in the mall really spend money from powell ohio by cole

Comment: It would be nice for malls to have a curfew ( I agree 100%), however some of the retailer stores that target our younger generation (preteens/teens) probably would not survive whether we like it or not these teens spend money and lots of it. Then how about the kids that work at the mall to make money to buy stuff at the mall. Kids can't shop during the day because they should be in SCHOOL. I have seen many groups of kids be rowdy and use bad words/running and knocking into people (Tuttle Mall)makes me mad but I don't think we can put a curfew on a mall. It would end up hurting many in the long run. I just wish our young generation was more respectful in public. from Columbus, Ohio by Robyn

Comment: I think the curfew should be for those under 16. And, have a good presence from the local police department. from Powell, OH by Shana

Comment: I believe discipline starts at home. Well disciplined kids should not be a problem. The mall certainly has the right to kick unruly kids out. But I think it's a shame that my daughters, who maybe get giggly when with a bunch of friends, are punished for the actions of others. by Sue

Comment: My wife and I quit going to City Center when it was in operation because of groups of teens. They were intimidating. Eastland Mall is the same way. We now have to drive north or northwest to find what we feel is a safe place to shop. from Grove City/Ohio by Collins
