There was a mass brawl between hundreds of children on Saturday night at Sky Zone Trampoline Park in Pompano Beach, a city in Florida.
Gatekeepers News reports that things ‘escalated very quickly’ – one moment, the children were ‘all having fun,’ but the next, they were scrapping with each other, according to Parent Sandra Bermudez.
“Then when this lady said, ‘Oh my God,’ and I turn around to look, they’re fighting on the right side,” Bermudez added.
Bermudez who was shocked by the pandemonium said she began filming from a vantage point on the second floor after she pulled her 9-year-old son from the roiling mass of children at the Sky Zone on Adamo Drive.
“I was very worried, I was like, ‘is my son gonna get trampled on’? Is he underneath these big kids?”‘ she told WFLA.
She was, however, not sure what triggered the fight, but things quickly became chaotic.
“If I wasn’t there, I would want to know what happened,” she said. “Just the sound itself on video, it was very concerning for me as a parent that one of these kids might hurt another.”
Bermudez said: “I tried to use it as an opportunity to teach him if this ever happens in the future, the first thing you need to do is pull yourself away from the crowd.”
She said she started recording again from her car when the kids spilt outside, only to dissipate when police arrived.
“I think a plan, perhaps would need to be in place as to how many kids could be there, whether the parents are required to stay there or not,’ said Bermudez.
“I think that they weren’t really prepared for it. I would have liked to see more adult presence other than just a few security guards.”
The Cops said they tried to track down the parents of the kids involved.
Hillsborough County sheriff’s deputies said the brawl involved about 300 kids – mostly teenagers. He said one child was briefly detained and released, noting that none of the cagey kids were arrested.
