'This is a parental issue.' A Philadelphia Police Inspector had a strong message for parents and their kids a day after a flash mob of hundreds of teens in Center City led to four arrests and an officer injured. BSheehanTV has the latest details:
Along with the 13-year-old boy, police also arrested a 13-year-old girl, 15-year-old boy and a 17-year-old boy. All four teens were charged with disorderly conduct. None of the teens are from Center City, according to Inspector Evers.
"Our belief is these juveniles were not down here to go to the movies or go to the mall and have fun,” Inspector Evers said. “They were here to be disorderly and we have to handle that as we see it." Currently, teenagers 14 years of age and above have a 10 p.m. curfew in Philadelphia while children 13 years of age and below have a 9:30 p.m. curfew. Inspector Evers suggested changes in the city’s curfew policy in light of Wednesday night’s chaos.
"I'm not big on social media but these kids have different apps that we're just not grabbing yet,” he said. “To gather 400 people, 350 people, it takes a lot of effort through social media. We're still working that. Our intel bureau is looking into that. We're doing our things. Coordination with SEPTA is important also because they are using SEPTA to get from point A to point B.
