While I'm sympathetic, this smells a whole lot like banning kids from malls, which already is happening which along with the deepening suburbanization of America just leads kids to feeling isolated. On some level, you need to let young people socialize and have a space where parents can't micromanage them. I'm not sure parents of yesteryear (boomers) or today (gen X, older millennials) are really okay with that. Given the moves throughout society of bannning kids from most public places, requiring shaperones for under 18s, even teenagers, makes me feel like we're further entrenching the mistakes made boomers made with their children and leading young people to be even more isolated and idealistic only to have them shell shocked once they experience the real world.

- CalRobert 4y agoI am! Shame we had to emigrate.
- HPsquared 4y agoReally, there should be some public meeting spaces other than malls. The same applies on the internet. At least on the internet there is a wide range of places.
