The charges, according to police, include riot, aggravated assault, theft, and failure to disperse. The three adults charged are Omar Ibraham, 19, Jerome Ross, III, 18, and Quaneek Williams, 18, all of Harrisburg.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Officers were called to Hersheypark around 7 p.m. on April 3, the park\u2019s opening day. Eyewitnesses told CBS News that a large group of teenagers ran through the food court, knocking over tables and chairs as security chased them. Videos posted from that day also showed teenagers running through the park while being pursued by security.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Charges were not announced until this week, after police reviewed park security footage and social media videos, and worked with schools to identify those allegedly involved. Derry Township Police Chief Garth Warner said that while arrests involving two or three juveniles are relatively common, the size of this group made the case notable.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cBecause it was such a large incident where multiple (people) were involved, and there were other children there, it was prudent of us to hold everyone involved accountable,\u201d Warner said.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>No serious injuries were reported and no one outside the group  involved was hurt. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>More broadly, videos circulating online suggest that some teenagers in Pennsylvania are participating in a trend of public fights or \u201cwilding out,\u201d raucous behavior that is often filmed, posted, and treated as entertainment by peers.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=923\">Justice Department approves Paramount\u2019s deal to buy Warner Bros.<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>One Instagram account, \u201cHarrisburg the Best,\u201d is filled with videos of teenagers fighting. The captions often include laughing emojis and, in some cases, first names of the people shown. In several videos, other teenagers appear to act as referees. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Kate Burdick, a senior attorney at the Juvenile Law Center, said cases like these are difficult because they involve both public safety concerns and adolescent development.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cKids are going to convene, and that is a positive, prosocial event,\u201d Burdick said. Although she does not condone fighting, she said she worries about the harm that can come from criminalizing adolescent behavior.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cOur recourse tends to be very punitive, whereas what we know about kids is that they\u2019re still developing and have an immense capacity for change and growth,\u201d she said. \u201cA punitive response can cause additional trauma and doesn\u2019t increase safety.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Still, not every juvenile case results in a trial. Steve Jarmon, a Philadelphia lawyer who specializes in juvenile criminal defense, said juvenile courts are designed to consider what is in the best interest of the child. In some cases, that can mean probation or diversionary options that allow a child to avoid formal adjudication.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Because the charges were announced only this week, it remains unclear how many of the 55 cases will proceed to adjudication or trial.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=921\">A Chester County cop made an illegal recording of the school board he served on.
