Two Maryland malls to implement 3 p.m. juvenile curfew

Major malls in Montgomery County are implementing a strict new policy banning unaccompanied minors under 18 after 3 p.m. starting next Monday. The rule, sparked by a surge in violent crimes and juvenile delinquency, requires teens to be accompanied by an adult aged 21 or older. The policy has sparked debate among community members regarding its necessity and restrictiveness.
