Waterfront puts in place new curfew and youth supervision policy

HOMESTEAD, Pa. (KDKA) -- A daily curfew and youth supervision policy is going into effect at the Waterfront in Homestead.

Waterfront management made the decision, aiming to prevent disruptive behavior.

The new policy says that after 6 p.m., anyone under the age of 18 must be with an adult who is 21 or older and that person must have an acceptable form of identification.

No one under 21 is allowed on Waterfront property after midnight.

Policy violations could result in the juvenile and their accompanying parent or guardian being banned from the Waterfront for life.

Some people who frequent the Waterfront say that they don't see a need for these types of rules and that this may cause more problems for the Waterfront in the long run.

"I think it is going to be really hard to zero in on somebody and get them to give you their ID without running away. I think it is going to actually maybe cause more issues," Crystal Flora said. 

"You are going to have young people unsupervised whether you ban them or not. They are going to find a way to work their way down here,"  Joe Muller said.
