However, this was posted Tuesday on the White Marsh Mall website: "Attention: Please be advised that PGR will be enforced on Tuesday, April 12th, from 3pm to 8pm."

"One of the stipulations of our PGR program is we can change it on an as-needed basis," Lindsay Kahn, a spokesperson for Brookfield Properties, told Perry Hall Patch on Tuesday. She said she would look into whether the policy will be in effect through the rest of the week.

The parental guidance requirement at the mall comes the day after The Avenue at White Marsh announced it would be requiring youths who are not chaperoned to have transportation by 5 p.m. daily through Monday, April 18. This aligns with spring break, a spokesperson for The Avenue at White Marsh told Patch.

For Baltimore County Public Schools and Baltimore City Public Schools, spring break runs from April 11 to April 18.

A person who identified himself as an employee at Dave & Buster's posted on the Perry Hall Patch Facebook page that Dave & Buster's requires those under 18 to be accompanied by an adult who is at least 25 years old.

House rules for Dave & Buster's in White Marsh stipulate the following: "Must be 18 or over to enter the premises. Persons under the age of 18 may only enter the premises with a guardian who is at least 25 years of age. Each guardian may bring no more than 6 underage persons into the premises."

The White Marsh Mall is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday at 8200 Perry Hall Blvd.
