Leaders in a South Jersey town are threatening to put their foot down on groups of unruly teenagers who they say are jeopardizing lakeside summer fun.
Mirror Lake in Browns Mills, New Jersey is a popular summertime alternative to the crowds and costs of the Jersey Shore.
But the summer fun - which includes swimming, sports, and concession stands - is being threatened this year by groups of destructive kids who officials say are harassing beachgoers. It's not the first year that the Mirror Lake community has dealt with this problem, but officials believe it's the same group of junior high aged kids that they've already excluded from the beach.
Pemberton Township Town Councilwoman Elisabeth McCartney said this is the first year Browns Mills is "taking a real stance on what our expectations are on the behavior here for this area.""If the parents don't take control of it then it becomes even more of an issue to the town and it's a sad thing to see," McCartney said.
