On a Saturday afternoon the mall is filled with a wide variety of people, both young and old. But many weekends after the sun goes down, the demographics of the customers often changes, leaning more toward the under-18 crowd. Many people have expressed concern that that age group was creating an environment that was unsafe. So Bonita Lakes Mall did what a dozen other CBL malls have done, it instituted a policy that limits unsupervised youth.

"As a mother of teenagers and went through that already, it's hard to keep track of a child, especially when they try to sneak around and stuff. I always knew where mine were," said Sherl Lewis - Bonita Lakes Mall Customer.

The policy, which goes into effect on July 25th, requires anyone under the age of 18 to be with a parent or guardian after 6:00 on Friday and Saturday nights. Mall officials were a bit apprehensive before the policy was announced, but they say most feedback has been positive.
