Unsupervised youths banned from Torrance mall on weekend nights

Del Amo Fashion Center sign

Young people can no longer hang out at Del Amo Fashion Center in Torrance without an adult during certain weekend hours as of 3 p.m. on Friday.

The policy is in effect only after 3 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Anybody under the age of 18 has to be accompanied by a guardian or adult over the age of 21. It was implemented because of several massive fights among young people last year.


KNX News’ Nataly Tavidian spoke to people at the mall who said they were bummed out about the new policy.

“I don't think they should do that. I think they should have another approach going into it,” one person said. “They should probably figure out a better way on how to, you know, fix these issues where kids are fighting here at the mall or, you know, if they're causing any disturbance.”

Others said there have been too many fights at that mall over the last year and they hope this policy will bring some change. Five teens were arrested in December after a chaotic brawl that forced police to close the mall early.
