Reply to comment by Moonagi in The Mall in Columbia will require chaperones for minors on weekends by f1sh98

They're kids. What does "out of control" look like?

Teacher, here. In AACPS, not HCPSS. At our middle school, we have constant fights, recording of fights, gang related activity, weapon carrying, harassment of one another and adults, and just general assholeishness. I know that kids need a place other than school and home to hang out, but a LOT of the activity that I see on a daily basis from my students today would have been a straight trip to a JDC when I was their age.

I don’t have a solution aside from a societal shift that feels impossible, but I understand why the businesses at the mall don’t want this happening outside of their shops.

No, you obviously didn't before you made a bunch of your holier-than-thou comments. It's all good though, I bet you're the type of smart ass that can NEVER admit when they're wrong.

Oh, come off it. Don't come at me like that with your self-righteous bullshit.

Curfews have been enacted in malls across this country since at least the late 90s. And there's no actual evidence they help curbing the behavior you find so abhorrent. It's just supposedly good for retailers.

You don't care what these kids do. You just don't want it where you can see and hear it. NIMBY, right?

It's irresponsible.

My reply was literally stated in the article. By not knowing that fact you have confirmed that you did not read the article.

Your comments are not valid as you have demonstrated you do not have knowledge on the topic.

I did read the article. This isn't a "gotcha" game to play. If you want meaningless points, go somewhere else.

Yeah you're a troll. Or illiterate.
