A New Jersey couple is facing multiple child endangerment charges after throwing an event in violation of a state emergency order against gatherings, authorities said.
Lakewood police were called to the family's home and ordered 40 to 50 people gathered in the front yard to disperse.
The Silbers were charged with one child endangerment count for each of their five children, and Eliezer Silber was also charged with violating a rule or regulation adopted by the governor. They will both be required to appear in court on a date not yet determined, the prosecutor's office said."My office will prosecute any individual who defies or breaks the law, State of Emergency or otherwise. Everyone must respect and follow the law,” Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer said in a statement.

They’re illegal, dangerous, and stupid. We will crash your party. You will pay a big fine. And we will name & shame you until EVERYONE gets this message into their heads.
