Cracking Down on a 4-year Old

Security guards in a shopping center in Britain threatened to throw a 4-year-old girl out of the property for wearing a hooded sweatshirt, according to the Daily Mail. A worker explained to the girl's mother that it was company policy to insist customers pulled down their hoods, in case they were used to conceal someone's identity while causing trouble. The mother told the paper, “I appreciate there is bad publicity about hoodies, but a four-year-old girl is an entirely different issue.”
