SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- If you go shopping at the Battlefield Mall in Springfield, be careful what you wear.
A 10-year-old girl got in trouble while shopping with her mom, because she had on a bandana.
Lydia Smith was wearing a bandana, decorated with peace signs, smiley faces and flowers.
A security guard approached her at the food court and said the bandanna violated the mall's code of conduct, which is "wearing apparel which is likely to provide a disturbance or embroil other groups or the general public in open conflict."
