Teens will now need to be accompanied at the mall after 3 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, after several fights have broken out there over the last few years.
A new chaperone policy went into effect Saturday at the Del Amo Fashion Center in Torrance, requiring all underage visitors to be accompanied by an adult on the weekends. The mall announced the new policy last month, just weeks after a massive teenage brawl at the mall ended with five arrests and at least three people injured. Torrance Police had to use riot gear in order to regain control from the more than 1,000 young people.
"It's too bad it had to come to that, but I think something has to be put in place to negate these kind of issues happening where innocent bystanders like myself and other people are just victims of what's going on."Brown was at the mall back in December, when that massive brawl broke out, forcing the mall to close early.
