Not really something to make fun of. The man could have alzheimers or something. It is a scary situation. Not many details here for a story, but still not really a situation to make fun of.

if he has a medical issue then he shouldn't be left alone in the mall...
teenagers are not allowed to why should seniors that don't buy anything they just take up all the sitting areas so no one else can sit down ( & If you happen to get a seat & not them they look at you . like "aren't you going to get up for me" sorry, never felt this way about seniors but after 14 yrs in Ocean Cnty, you start to see the entitlement & rudeness they seem to have ( YES worse) than the teenagers ... Glad the man was ok , but what was he just doing? & Again if he has issues medical or mental then he shouldn't be on his own in the mall.

Sunny.....let's hope that you never become a senior.
You took a story about a missing man and turned it into your own personal soap box against seniors. I personally have never seen the things that you are describing. You must spend a lot of time at the mall.
Would you be so cruel if a child had wandered away from their mother?? I doubt it.

I would be scared & upset if that was my father ( also a senior) BUT I would make sure he was not alone if he was able to navigate for himself.
Glad the man was found safe.
As far as Sunny ... I get where your coming from have lived in Brick for 15 yrs & they do try to take over all the shopping areas. & I too have ran into very rude seniors.
