Milford Mall: Teens Not Allowed Without Adult Supervision

MILFORD, CT — The Connecticut Post Mall implemented a new policy that requires anyone under the age of 18 to be accompanied by an adult 21 or older.

The policy is in effect until Jan. 1 and applies between 4 p.m. and mall closing time. One adult can accompany up to four youths. Proof of age may be required for youths and supervising adults.

It's not the first time the Connecticut Post Mall has enacted a similar policy. Similar rules were enforced during 2018, 2019, and 2020 after brawls involving juveniles.

The mall had to temporarily close in 2018 after several large fights involving juveniles. The mall enacted a juvenile supervision policy after the incident. The Milford mall also had to close in 2019 after several fights in a short period.

More recently, police broke up several fights at the Milford mall in September. One incident involved pepper spray.

Other malls in Connecticut have had similar policies in the past following youth brawls. Three malls had fights break out on the same day in 2019.
