Our 15 year old grand niece was dropped off at the Parks Mall in Arlington Tx. today by her dad along with 2 of her friends. He was going to let them shop for a couple of hours and come back to pick them up. While they were buying ice cream, a security guard came up to them and asked them how old they were. After they told him, he asked if their parents were at the mall. They told him no. He then told them that anyone under the age of 18 was not allowed to be at the mall without their parents and they needed to leave immediately. The girls were scared and confused so they went outside and thankfully my niece called her dad immediately. He told her to go back into the mall where there were many people and he was on his way to get her. So everything turned out ok. However, this is how these evil people work and our kids need to be educated on what their rights are and what to do when something like this happens. It would have been great if our niece would have pulled out her phone and recoded this and gotten the name of the security officer that did this. The mall will be hearing from our family about this so please pray that we will identify this obvious sexual predator and whatever bigger group is behind this.

Good grief dude...
A quick google search on the subject will reveal that this mall does in fact have an unsupervised age requirement (18). In a lot of areas, malls are overrun with teens. Fights, shoplifting etc happen frequently.
Before you assume the security guard is working a child trafficking ring, the least you could do is confirm if it's in fact a rule of the mall's.
You are probably right about me jumping to the conclusion that the security officer is running a child trafficking ring. It’s just the world we live in and all the stories I hear that makes me constantly on guard and especially when one of the children in my family are concerned. She and her friends are good girls that like to shop. Because of the bad kids, her rights are being taken away just like they are trying to take away all of our rights. In this situation, they were told they needed to exit the mall immediately. Forcing them to go out into the parking lot was only putting them in more harms way. They were just buying ice cream when this happened and they were made to feel like they were some kind of criminals. I will never agree that the good people of this world should suffer the punishment for the bad people but that is exactly what is going on today.
You know what? You have every right to protect your kids. Even if this wasn’t a predatory situation, you are right to question everything. I’d rather be wrong a thousand times than be right once about my kids being in harm’s way and not doing anything about it.
Ok, so I see what you’re saying. However, these girls were doing nothing wrong at the time they were approached. As far as I know, there is no signage at any of the entrances that say must be 18 years old unless accompanied by a parent. If this is such a problem, then why not have security checking ids for entry? When these girls were told they needed to leave, they were kicked out to street. The security officer did not detain them until their parents could pick them up. The whole situation was handled improperly in my opinion. In the world we live in today and the many people that wish to do harm on our children, how are we supposed to just relax and believe that there isn’t a problem when something like this happens?
Lol
And yet these same children could go to a trans sex show
