I also agree. You can't get into Southpark without walking through a huge crowd of teen smoking, swearing ang goofing around. Can't blame the merchants for wanting this, these teens for the most part are not there to shop.
Where are the parents?

Its not racism and Sharpton and Jackson do not have to come here for this. It make sense to limit the amount of teens at the malls. Some stores in Cleveland have signs posting allowing one teenager at a time in their stores if they are unescorted by an adult.

I feel sorry that American teens do not have places to hang out safely without getting into trouble. Many schools has eliminated after school programs because parents and politicians have failed to come up with a better way to fund our public schools beside raising our property taxes.

not surprising that the racism scream is already going on........just another bull**** excuse to pull the race card. why are these kids hanging at the mall rather than being at home, doing homework, at school doing sports or other extra cirricular activites? where are their parents?

the kids blew it for themselves. the kids. the racism starts when people forget about the kids and only remember the color. they are just kids being shooed away from private property because they are a nuisance

alot of agreeing but some just forget what is like being a kid. christmas is coming close and a kid needs a shop a gift for there parents/or who ever at the mall. with this ban in place what they seek can't be touch and the surpise of the gift will be ruin.

instead of the curflew re-hire police cops and send them over to the mall to deal with the troubled kids otherwise with this rule in please your punishing all good and bad kids.

I love how some people project that Tower City will lose money because of this....Um, that's funny; I see a lot of teens hanging out at the malls, but (outside of Strongsville) I don't see ANYBODY buying much, unless it's lunch at the food court McDonalds.....and the last time I checked, loud groups of obnoxious teens drove the REAL spenders away...just ask Rolling Acres Mall's (Akron) management about that one.

I am a mother of ten and most of the time i atleast have six of the childern with me and i do take my children to the movies at tower city and im not going to stop they can kiss it where the sun dont shine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY for the ban!

I heard that it is 4 kids per adult and yes it is private property they can do what they want I agree but as long as children are with an adult and adult has control of the children/teenagers that should not be a problem. NO BAN !!!!

why is black on black now asking for a protest of the mall? why must someone always make rules that are put in place a racial thing?nothing that i read is targeting black teens, it is targeting TEENS period!it is organizations like this that keep racism alive.anytime that blacks may be affected,just as well as whites, it is made to be a racial thing.i'm sick of the racism that you create or keep going. this is about innocent customers being protcted from crime and the disrespect given to them by TEENS,period. if you happen to be one of the irresponsible parents that let your kids run wild at the mall, disrespect others, or steal from businesses,because you don't want them in your hair, then shame on you!it is a shame that innocent, respectfull teens are affected by you.if your kid is one of the unruly ones, it is because of YOU, not because he or she is black. respect and responsibility starts at home!
