Local Ohio Chick-fil-A to require chaperones for teenage customers — causing community uproar
An Ohio Chick-fil-A announced to customers this week that minors, including teens, must bring an adult over 21 years old to their franchise if they want to dine in — ruffling feathers and sparking pushback from local residents before the start of the school year. The Kettering Chick-fil-A location posted a 'teen chaperone policy' on Facebook on Wednesday, declaring that anyone 17 and under 'must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or adult chaperone' over 21 and that 'unaccompanied minors may be asked to leave,' Fox Business first reported. The divisive rule is meant to 'ensure a safe and respectful environment for all guests,' the franchise wrote in the announcement. An Ohio Chick-fil-A announced to customers this week that minors must bring an adult over 21 years old to their franchise if they want to dine in, mirroring a policy within its shopping center. Google Maps But the new rule did sit right with every Chick-fil-A fan. 'I guess I won't be eating Chick-fil-A anymore at least not the Kettering location,' one angered commenter wrote. 'Pretty sad that the good kids are getting punished.. how about instead of a chaperone policy, they say that they have the right to remove anybody from their property that is being disruptive,' another commenter scoffed. Other residents argued the move could unfairly target older children taking their younger siblings out, or teenage parents with young children. 'What about the good kids who come in there, mind their own business, why should they get punished?' one wrote. Some commenters, however, backed the controversial policy. The rule is meant to 'ensure a safe and respectful environment for all guests,' the franchise said. Chik-Fil-A 'A lot of places are moving into this direction because your kids are unruly and disrespectful,' one woman wrote. 'The teachers keep telling you. The coaches keep telling you. The librarians keep telling you. Law enforcement keeps telling you,' the commenter continued. 'Everyone acts like this is the only company doing this when it's not,' another added, pointing to similar chaperone policies already in place at Dayton Mall, Fairfield Commons, and Town & Country Shopping Center — where the franchise is located. A Chick-fil-A spokesperson confirmed to Fox Business that 'Chick-fil-A restaurants are locally owned and operated,' meaning shop owners could enforce the teen chaperone policy on their own turf. 'This restaurant has set a policy specific to its location, which mirrors that of the shopping center the restaurant is located in,' the company told the outlet. The shopping center ruled in January 2022 that all minors under the age of 18 would need an adult to accompany them, according to a Facebook announcement. And the rule isn't local to Ohio. In March, a Brooklyn Target banned kids under 18 from shopping at the store without adult supervision to curb delinquent behavior. The Target — located in the Triangle Junction mall on the corner of Flatbush Avenue and Avenue H — recently began posting security guards at its front doors and carding anybody who doesn't look of age, a store worker told The Post. In February, a crime-ridden Brooklyn McDonald's also began carding customers at the door and forbidding anyone under 20 to enter without a parent or proper ID.

‘I'm being stonewalled.' Community leaders want release of undocumented immigrant
On Friday morning, a news conference was held about the release of Muscatine resident Jesus Hernandez, whose full name is Felipe de Jesus Hernandez Marcelo. He came to the United States from Mexico in 2021, and has relatives in the Muscatine area. Hernandez's attorney says he is not facing removal, which is the legal term for the expulsion of a non-citizen from the United States. His lawyer, Emily Rebelskey, was at the news conference, along with family, and friends. Hernandez, an immigrant without legal status, was shot in his car while thieves tried to steal it early June 21 while he was driving to his construction was taken to a hospital for his injuries. His attorney says he was shot through his right wrist, his right thigh, and he also was wounded in the calf of one leg. She said he developed an infection while he was incarcerated in Muscatine County Jail, and was treated for it at a hospital. When Hernandez went to pick up his car, he was detained, his lawyer said. Rebelskey says Muscatine County Attorney Jim Barry is refusing to compromise for Hernandez's release. 'I'm being stonewalled by Jim Barry,' said Rebelskey. 'I have asked Jim Barry three times to sign a U-visa certification, and his position is that he does not negotiate on immigration status,. My question for Jim is 'Why not?'' A U-visa is a non-immigrant visa designed for victims of certain kinds of crimes who have suffered physically or mentally, and are willing to assist law enforcement in the investigation or prosecution of a crime. A U-visa allows eligible people to temporarily live and work in the United States, and possibly pursue legal permanent residence. Hernandez was denied a U-visa, and Rebelskey says city officials are refusing to talk to her. Our Quad Cities News tried to reach Barry on Friday but his staff said he was in court. Hernandez is in custody in the Muscatine County Jail. This is a developing story. Our Quad Cities news will provide details about the case and upcoming court hearings as they become available.
