How social-media 'teen takeovers' turned from a party trend into a public-safety problem

  • The 'teen takeover' started as a lighthearted idea: hype a spot online, and hundreds of young people show up to hang out.
  • In some cities it has curdled into violence and chaos, with over 400 arrests at one Newport Beach gathering, nine shot in Raleigh, and a death in Pensacola.
  • Cities are split between cracking down and offering kids somewhere else to go.
