Bayshore enforces a parental supervision policy for minors

Bayshore enforces a parental supervision policy for minors

New changes are coming to Bayshore that will require parental supervision for minors.

As of Friday, Nov. 1, Bayshore is now on the list of malls in the area that require minors to be accompanied by an adult while on site during certain hours of the day.

“I didn’t know. Now I have to break the news. Now we have to plan around this new rule,” said Kisha Burgss, a mother and Milwaukee resident.

The new rule requires children 17 and younger to have a parent or guardian present at certain times.

“I think even though it’s protective of the businesses here. I think ultimately it’s just another space that’s taken away from the kids,” said Harper Mosesson, a Milwaukee resident.

The policy must be followed after 3pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday onwards.

“Now we have to plan around this new rule,” added Burgss.

Burgss says her teenage daughter shops in the area frequently and will now plan trips.

“I understand the decision, but I don’t care about the decision. It makes everyone take the blame for something they may not be responsible for,” Burgss said.

Security will be on site to enforce the policy, requiring ID for proof of age.

Guests who do not comply with the Bayshore Code of Conduct will be asked to leave. If they fail or refuse, they can be arrested for trespassing.

“Increase security. Don’t punish kids for what other kids are doing that’s not right,” Burgss said.

“It’s kind of sad that it was taken,” Mosesson said.

While Bayshore declined FOX6’s request for an on-camera interview, this one website this decision is said to have been made to ensure a pleasant experience for visitors and to ensure that it is not in response to any specific incident.
