Multiple fights at Providence Place Mall lead to ten arrests
Ten juveniles were arrested in fights at Providence Place Mall Saturday.
According to The Providence Journal, an argument led to three boys kicking and punching a 12 year old boy to the point where he was put to the ground and bleeding with possible loosened teeth.
The altercation occurred near Victoria’s Secret at approximately 7:30 p.m. according to mall security. Two 14 year old boys and a 15-year-old boy were secured by mall security and will face felony assault charges.
In a separate altercation, a brawl outside of MetroPCS occurred involving seven girls a few hours after the first incident. The fight resulted in approximately 100 onlookers, according to the Journal.
The seven girls, between 11 and 15 years old, were put in handcuffs amid disorderly conduct charges.

What do you expect? These are the same students who are only 5% proficient in math and english. These are the same students who stole the Jump bikes and went on a rampage, banging on cars, starting fights. These are also the same students enrolled in Providence Middle and High schools. This problem will never be controlled because the parent(s) either do not care, are working too many jobs and are completely uninvolved with their child’s life. I call these people “losers”. And you really think Angelica Infante-Greene is going to fix the Providence Schools? Dream on. You simply cannot change an ingrained culture.
