Member Center:
Valley View Mall (file)Teens won't be allowed into Valley View Mall without an adult on Friday and Saturday nights. Mall management made the announcement Friday afternoon.
Anyone under 18 will need an adult escort after 6:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The new Youth Escort Policy goes into effect July 13th. Mall officials say the new measure is not in response to any specific incident, but they also say the conduct of unsupervised youth and young adults has created an uncomfortable atmosphere and an increasing safety challenge.
Teens employed at the mall will still be allowed to work after 6:00 p.m. and will be issued an identification card.
