Shopping Malls Implementing Curfews And Teen “Waiting Zones” To Try And Curb Chaos, Theft And Fights
Shopping Malls Implementing Curfews And Teen “Waiting Zones” To Try And Curb Chaos, Theft And Fights
Tired of seeing unruly teens running amok and causing chaos inside of your local shopping mall? So are the residents, vendors and security at Moreno Valley Mall in California.
It is one of many malls on a list that includes New Jersey’s oldest mall, Westfield Garden State Plaza, that is implementing new rules to try and cut back on unruly and sometimes illegal behavior from teenagers.
At Westfield Garden State Plaza, anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult after 5 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, according to KIRO Newsradio. The mall has also set up “waiting zones” for teens needing a ride after curfew, the report says.
The KIRO Newsradio report also notes that a Pittsburgh mall has implemented similar policies, where both teens and their adult chaperones face bans if a violation occurs. In Atlanta, some retailers have seen a drop in sales after enforcing such rules.
The rules are obvious consequences stemming from a spree of looting that started taking place during the ‘summer of love’ in 2020, and never really stopped. Since then, police all over the country have dealt with higher rates of theft in inner cities while liberal DAs refuse to meaningfully prosecute those breaking the law.
As a result, we have stores like CVS and Target locking up goods like toothpaste, preventing shoppers from accessing even the most basic items, and shopping malls being forced to “lock down”.
Despite the ugly reality of the situation, KIRO’s Angela Poe Russell laments the changes taking place at malls, writing: “This is happening all over the country and, to be honest, I’m grieving. I’m grieving because our teens need a safe place to go just to hang out and have fun. Remember the COVID-19 pandemic? They were locked in on screens all day. We were wishing for the days they could just go hang out at a mall in person with people.”
“When I think about some of my favorite childhood memories, they happened at the mall. It was where I had my first job. It was where I met my first real boyfriend. It was where I met the singers of my favorite band.”
The key word that you use there, Angela, is “safe” – which malls simply no longer are. In the 1980s you could go to the mall without fear of looting or assault. Sadly, those days are long gone…

Moderna fine
Moderna, 'inappropriate financial inducement', brought 'discredit upon the pharmaceutical industry'.
Moderna under fire after children offered cash to test Covid vaccine
Company targeted 12 to 18 year-olds through WhatsApp with payments of £1,500
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/10/02/moderna-offered-children-cash-test-covid-vaccine/
Moderna has been rebuked by regulators
Moderna ordered to pay £14,000
(Moderna, total revenue was $6.8 billion in 2023)
Moderna representative had sent a WhatsApp message offering £1,500 to children to be subjects in covid booster trials.

Ruled that the offer amounted to “inappropriate financial inducement”,
found the company had brought “discredit upon the pharmaceutical industry”.

Warned about the “large amount of money” that Moderna was offering,
voiced concern it was “much higher than would be considered a reasonable reimbursement”.
The Medicines for Human Use (Clinical Trials) Regulations (2004)

It is prohibited for incentives or financial inducements to be given to children or their parents.

In a statement, the PMCPA ruled
“On balance, the panel considered that this brought discredit upon and reduced confidence in the pharmaceutical industry.”
Moderna must provide a written undertaking that the practice will “cease forthwith” and pay for administrative costs.
Esther McVey MP
(formerly of the APPG on Covid-19 vaccine damage)
“A charge of £14,000 to a company that enjoyed a total revenue of $6.8 billion in 2023 is hardly likely to make them think twice before breaking the rules again.
“Not only are the charges too small but when they come, they come too late. There is a major backlog in handling these kinds of complaints, with a recent case against Moderna taking the PMCPA 18 months to consider.
“The system is clearly broken and failing to keep patients safe from misleading information and advertising about medicines.
The public’s trust in healthcare authorities will only continue to be damaged unless meaningful action is taken.”
Corporate interests vs the public’s right to know
By Rt Hon Esther McVey
It is time for real transparency in clinical research.
The case details the company’s inappropriate and unacceptable use of social media and big financial incentives to recruit healthy children into its Covid-19 vaccine trial.
For me, this case prompts further questions about how and why Moderna’s NextCOVE trial was ever approved in the first place.
