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.

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?
