THE AVENUE At White Marsh Now Requires All Children Be Accompanied

WHITE MARSH - THE AVENUE at White Marsh has updated its Youth Escort Policy, Baltimore County Police announced Thursday.

The new policy states: “At all times, visitors under the age of 17 must be accompanied by and remain under the direct supervision of a parent or guardian 21 years of age or older while visiting the shopping center.”

This is a change from the previous policy that mandated minors to be accompanied by someone of that age and category only after 5 p.m. daily.

The change was likely prompted by a recent social media post calling for a large crowd to gather at the mall. Additionally, on December 30th, a large crowd gathered near the Towson mall, leading to seven juveniles being arrested.
