All hell broke loose at the DC Navy Yard Chipotle restaurant this weekend after a group of ‘youths’ got into a violent brawl.
A group of terrified patrons, including children, was pushed to the corner of the restaurant as the teen thugs threw chairs at each other.
It is unclear what caused the brawl or if anyone was taken into custody.
WATCH:
The Justice Department vowed to hold the parents of these violent teens accountable.
US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro on Friday announced her office will be charging parents of ‘youths’ who violate curfew amid a disturbing trend of ‘teen takeovers.
Mobs of teens are rampaging through the streets of DC and other cities across the country, terrifying residents and causing major damage.
Pirro says she’s going after the parents.
Jeanine Pirro said she will charge the parents with the local DC statute 22-811.
“Starting today, my office will aggressively prosecute parents under D.C.’s curfew law, and the specific statute that we will use is a violation of D.C. Code 22-811, and it involves contributing to the delinquency of a minor,” she said.
“This statute makes it unlawful for an adult to enable, facilitate, or permit a minor to engage in delinquent acts.”
“And if you drop your kid off, and you fail to supervise them, or you let them skip school to join the chaos, you are going to face fines, court-ordered classes, and possible jail time!”
“Parents, do your job. Or we will do ours,” she said.
“The penalty is up to six months imprisonment, so if the evidence shows the parent knew, or should have known, or permitted, or failed to prevent participation, we’re going to charge them,” she said.

To parents, you must supervise your kids or face criminal consequences. Law abiding taxpayers should no longer have to pay for the chaos caused by parental neglect. pic.twitter.com/caZ0S43ZKa
