VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. Lynnhaven Mall s latest policy requiring adult supervision after 4 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays comes after a fight broke out amongst group of teenagers over Christmas weekend.
It s called the Parental Guidance Required program.
One parent, Tony Burke, says his daughter is about to turn 16 and enjoys going to the mall with her friends. He says now that chaperones are required, he s going to have to stay with her friends, which is something he feels is unnecessary for his kid.
