Authorities Investigate Jacksonville Brawl

JACKSONVILLE � Officials are continuing to investigate a large brawl at a Jacksonville park, caught on tape with a cell phone camera and posted on the Internet. The video showing students from both Jacksonville and New Summerfield has been pulled from YouTube. Detective Javier Guerra says authorities are investigating a possible case of retaliation regarding one of the teens in the video. �This could be also related to gang violence because one of the people in the video that I recognized happens to be one of our local gang members,� Guerra said.

Guerra added that accountability is important, remarking, �Take care of your children. Learn what they do. Talk to them, communicate with them. Don�t take them for granted. Just because they have a Game Boy or a PlayStation doesn�t mean that they�re gonna raise themselves. The parents have to be involved, that�s the bottom line.� Guerra says no one has pressed charges as of yet, so he�s hoping a good talking to will prevent any more fights.
