If you’ve seen the news about the rowdy — and sometimes violent — “teen takeovers” that are damaging American cities, you’ve probably asked yourself a simple question:
Where on earth are the parents?
Well, it looks like some parents may actually be accomplices.
New drone footage has emerged of a recent teen takeover in Winston-Salem, NC, which led to the arrests of 11 teens and three adults. Now, disturbing reports have emerged that parents were actually dropping their kids off at the illegal event, well into the wee hours of the night.
See the footage of the takeover for yourself!
