Westfield malls implement restrictions on teen autonomy

For many WCHS students, the Westfield Montgomery Mall has served as a place to shop, eat and spend time with friends. However, on Sept. 28, the Westfield Corporation implemented a new policy limiting teens after 3 PM at Westfield Montgomery and Westfield Wheaton. While the policy aims to increase the safety for shoppers, it has also raised questions about teen independence and its potential impacts on mall businesses. The official mall policy states that minors are barred from entering the mall after 3 PM unless they are with an adult. Supervising adults may also be asked to provide a valid form of identification, and can only accompany 4 minors at a time.
