Chick-fil-A Store's Controversial New Policy Has Customers Divided
Chick-fil-A Store's Controversial New Policy Has Customers Divided originally appeared on Parade. Since the dawn of hamburger and hot dog joints, teenagers and fast food restaurants have gone hand-in-hand. But now, one Chick-fil-A location's new "teen chaperone" policy might be putting an end to high school kids hanging out and eating fries after customers have mixed feelings about the change. On Wednesday, Aug. 13, a Chick-fil-A in Kettering, OH, shared a Facebook post announcing the rule, explaining that to "ensure a safe and respectful environment for all guests," patrons "17 and under must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or adult chaperone (age 21+) to dine in." "Unaccompanied minors may be asked to leave," the post continued, adding, "Thank you for helping us to keep Chick-fil-A family-friendly!" Some commenters were quick to argue against the idea, with one even saying they "won't be eating" at that Chick-fil-A location anymore. "I'm in my 50s but I disagree with their policy there's better ways I've managed restaurants convenience stores and retail places and this is not the answer," the person wrote, adding, "You're going to lose so much money and so much business especially being close to the high school and Junior high and what not and on game nights you're screwed your business that you're used to getting on a game night is pretty much over." "We went Tuesday night for family night and there was about ten or so teens (probably on a sports team together- some were wearing Alter baseball shirts) and they were all so well mannered and having a good time in a safe environment," another local Chick-fil-A customer chimed in to say. "Sad that is getting taken away from them." Others, however, were in agreement with the idea, with one pointing out that "nobody there makes enough to constantly 'remove disruptive' teenagers who lack accountability and fear of consequence." "A lot of places are moving into this direction because your kids are unruly and disrespectful," the person continued. "Everyone acts like this is the only company doing this when it's not," someone else agreed, going on to note that other local businesses also have chaperone policies in effect. Whether or not other Chick-fil-A locations will follow suit remains to be seen, but as a spokesperson for the chain explained toFox Business, "Chick-fil-A restaurants are locally owned and operated. This restaurant has set a policy specific to its location, which mirrors that of the shopping center the restaurant is located in."Chick-fil-A Store's Controversial New Policy Has Customers Divided first appeared on Parade on Aug 19, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Aug 19, 2025, where it first appeared.

Laken Riley's mother and stepfather strongly endorse House Republican vying for U.S. Senate seat
Laken Riley's mother and stepfather endorsed Rep. Mike Collins, a House Republican running for U.S. Senate in Georgia, according to a campaign press release. Riley was a 22-year-old nursing student murdered last year by Venezuelan man Jose Ibarra, who was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. "There is simply no one else in this race who deserves to be in the U.S. Senate more than Mike Collins. He is someone who says what he means, means what he says, and actually delivers results that matter," Allyson Riley and John Phillips, said in a statement, according to the press release. Many reports have previously referred to Riley's mother as Allyson Phillips, not Allyson Riley, as the press release does. "What Mike did for our family wasn't about politics and it wasn't about attention or the spotlight. He stood up to do what was right and help bring justice for our sweet Laken. For that, our family will be forever grateful to Mike Collins, Senator Katie Britt, and President Trump," they declared in the statement. "The Laken Riley Act" was the first piece of legislation that President Donald Trump signed into law after starting his second term earlier this year. Incumbent Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff, who is aiming to win re-election next year in the Peach State, voted in favor of passing the legislation. "The Biden administration and our current senators voted for open borders that allowed Laken's killer to come to the United States. They were looking out for illegal immigrants instead of looking out for their own constituents," the couple declared in their statement. Collins noted in a post on X that he is "Incredibly humbled to have the support of Laken's family in our race for U.S. Senate" and that "She is why I'm fighting—and her cause keeps me focused on what's at stake." Another House Republican, Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., is also making a bid for the Senate seat.

Andrew Bailey stepping down as Missouri attorney general for job in Trump administration
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey speaks to The Federalist Society on the Missouri House of Representatives floor Friday. (Photo by Annelise Hanshaw/Missouri Independent) Missouri will need a new attorney general for the third time in six years as Andrew Bailey announced on Monday that he plans to step down to become co-deputy director of the FBI. 'My life has been defined by a call to service, and I am once again answering that call, this time at the national level,' Bailey said in a news release announcing his departure. 'But wherever I am called, Missouri is and always will be home.' Bailey was appointed attorney general in 2022 after Eric Schmitt was elected to the U.S. Senate. Schmitt got the job in 2018, replacing another Republican who won a Senate seat, Josh Hawley. Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe will name his replacement at 10 a.m. Tuesday. The new attorney general will then serve until Bailey's current term expires in 2028. Bailey said his last day in office will be Sept. 8. Bailey had never run for public office before former Missouri Gov. Mike Parson tapped him to replace Schmitt in 2022. At the time, he was serving as Parson's general counsel. He previously worked as an assistant prosecuting attorney in Warren County and as an assistant attorney general. Weeks after being elected to full four-year term last year, Bailey was vying to be President Donald Trump's new attorney general or FBI director. He will now join the FBI as it faces a torrent of criticism from across the political spectrum over the Trump administration's refusal to release government files on the late sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein. His short stint as Missouri's attorney general was largely defined by confrontation — lawsuits against the federal government, investigations of health care providers and public fights with other statewide elected Republicans. Bailey's most high-profile cases since becoming attorney general included twice suing to block federal student loan forgiveness and carrying forward an unsuccessful lawsuit alleging the Biden administration was colluding with social media companies to censor conservative speech. His office is also involved in four different lawsuits regarding medical records of transgender children — part of his effort to end gender-affirming care in Missouri. The attorney general's office under Bailey helped force St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner out of office and is pursuing felony charges against St. Louis County Executive Sam Page. Bailey has also been unflinchingly loyal to Trump, including publicly endorsing the lie that the 2020 presidential election was stolen and unsuccessfully attempting to intervene in the criminal case against him in New York that resulted in 34 felony convictions. But Bailey's tenure as attorney general has also been marked by accusations of corruption, incompetence and grandstanding, with his critics alleging he's more interested in scoring appearances on Fox News than effectively running the sprawling office or winning in the courtroom. Among the many lawsuits Bailey inherited from his predecessor was a case against Missouri school districts that implemented mask mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic. After a judge ruled in support of the school boards, Bailey's office missed its deadline to appeal. Last summer, he narrowly avoided being questioned under oath about his contact with a defendant in his own case against Jackson County. One of Bailey's deputies lost his license because of the meetings, according to a filing from the county's attorneys. Bailey was also the focus of a formal complaint about the behavior of his office after he falsely blamed the Hazelwood School District's diversity, equity and inclusion program for the off-campus assault of a student. He's also faced criticism over his contributions to his campaign. Bailey recused himself from a gambling lawsuit filed against the Missouri State Highway Patrol after PACs connected to the lobbyist of the companies suing the state wrote checks to the committee supporting his campaign. He raised eyebrows after accepting $50,000 in campaign donations from Doe Run, a St. Louis-based company being sued by thousands of Peruvians over allegations of lead smelter poisoning in their mining town in the Andes. A few months before the donation, Bailey filed a brief asking the federal court to move the lawsuit out of Missouri.
