THOMASVILLE, Ga. (WTXL) - Thomasville Police are warning parents tonight after an alarming number of complaints have been made at a shopping plaza.
The shopping center is home to a movie theater and restaurants that teenagers frequent on the weekends. Officers believe many times kids are dropped off at the movies and they walk across highway 19 to go to other places.
Reports show the parking lot has become a spot where several fights have taken place. There are also reports of kids blocking the drive thru at Taco Bell.
Leaders in this community want this area to remain a fun place for kids to hang out, but also a safe one too.
"We're reaching out to the parents who drop their kids off on Saturday night," said Major Eric Hampton. "Make sure they understand and are aware of whats going on with their children after they drop them off."
Officers say they want to take a proactive approach to the issue. They plan to hand out flyers on the weekends just to keep the conversation going with parents about teen safety.
