Grammatically Incorrect Warning Sign

In a mall as I stepped onto an escalator, I noticed this sign which says: "Be aware of you're Abaya and Children."  "You're" is the contraction for "you are."  "Your" would be the correct form of the word, indicating the possessive form.  Grammatically incorrect signs are commonly seen here in Saudi Arabia.
