Any parent who is stupid enough to turn their 13 year old out at the mall unsupervised is an unfit parent. I wouldn’t give them a cent, and would ask the judge if the jury could vote to terminate parental rights
Why shouldn’t a 13 year old be able to do some shopping on her/his own? They are in 8th grade. I wouldn’t leave them there all day, but an hour or two should be fine. Maybe not at the Galleria, but the PV Promenade should be fine.
