Employee hurt, widespread fighting reported with hundreds of teens at Gastonia trampoline park

GASTON COUNTY, N.C. (WBTV) - An employee was hurt when several fights broke out at a trampoline park in Gaston County over the weekend. Officials say hundreds of teens were outside the trampoline park at the time.
The fight happened just before 8:30 p.m. Saturday at the Altitude Trampoline Park in Gastonia.
Lowell Police Department says their officers arrived to find around 400 teenagers running through the parking lot, where several fights were in progress.
Police say they tried to control the crowd at the front door of the business when another fight involving juveniles broke out inside. An employee of the trampoline park was found passed out inside. The employee was taken to Caromont Regional with minor injuries. No other injuries were reported.
Although Lowell Police say there were about 400 teens running through the parking lot, the public relations agency for Altitude Trampoline Park Gastonia says there were less than 200 guests at the facility on Saturday night. The public relations agency specified that is less than half of what Lowell Police Department initially reported as about 400 teens.
Full statement from Altitude Trampoline Park Gastonia can be found below:
“This past Saturday night, an incident occurred at Altitude Trampoline Park between a few of our teenage guests. Some overly rambunctious teens came into to the park from a different venue nearby and it was quickly apparent that they had a concentrated effort to start trouble. Shortly after they arrived, our staff asked that they leave, but unfortunately the situation escalated, and fights broke out. The altercation was between the teen factions, no Altitude staff was involved. Our team followed company policy and immediately contacted the Gastonia Police Department, who quickly arrived on the scene and resolved the situation. An Altitude team member did unfortunately suffer minor injuries during the incident but is doing fine. Across the country, many teen-friendly venues have been experiencing an uptick in aggressive behavior among older teenagers post-COVID reopening. To ensure our parks remain safe, fun and family-friendly, Altitude implemented the following proactive policy changes BEFORE the unfortunate incident Saturday night - increased security from 1 to 2 paid off-duty police officers and changed weekend hours from closing at 11pm to 9pm. On this particular Saturday, the Gastonia Police Department had informed us they were unable to provide the 2 paid off-duty police offers for our park, but again, responded immediately once the incident began. Altitude Gastonia has a great relationship with the Gastonia Police Department and is very thankful for their quick response and help in deescalating the situation. Our facility, which is two floors and 32,000 square feet of space, was at 1/3 of normal capacity at the time of the incident. In our continuing efforts to ensure guests’ safety and enjoyment, Altitude Gastonia will be switching Friday and Saturday nights to Family Fun Nights, designed to create a fun atmosphere for kids and parents to safely play. No older, unaccompanied teenagers will be allowed in the park during these times. Kids 13 and older will need to be accompanied by a PARENT, not just an adult,” the full statement reads.
“There are a lot of great kids in the area who need a place to play safely and have fun,” said Chris Taddonio, Director of Operations for Altitude Gastonia. “Altitude wants to be that place and 99.9% of our guests are great kids. We are a family-friendly park, and unfortunately a few bad apples can ruin that atmosphere on occasion, but our team will make every effort to not let that happen again. We will continue to welcome the community into our park and work even harder to ensure our facility remains a place for kids and parents to have safe and active fun.”
Multiple agencies responded to assist officers. Police say there was no report of any weapons involved.

Is your teenager rebelling, defying your curfew, or hanging out with questionable kids? Here's how to nip behavior problems in the bud.
To be fair, no one has ever pretended that parenting a teenager was going to be easy. Still, until your own kids reach that stage, it's tempting to believe your family will be immune to teen behavior problems. No, you tell yourself, your teenager will never talk back, stay out too late or pierce their eyebrow.
Teenagers are basically hard-wired to butt heads with their parents, says Stuart Goldman, MD, director of psychiatric education at Children's Hospital in Boston. "Adolescence is a time of rapid change for kids both physically and cognitively," he explains. "It's the task of the teenager to fire their parents and then re-hire them years later, but as consultants rather than managers."
But that doesn't mean you have to take it lying down. With the right approach, you can troubleshoot the following teen behavior problems in a relatively civilized fashion.
One minute your sweet child is begging you to come on the class trip or to lie down with them while they fall asleep. Then, seemingly overnight, they start treating you like dirt, discounting everything you say and snickering at your suggestions. If you look closely, you'll see that you've been through this before, when they were a toddler -- only instead of shouting "no!" like a two-year-old would, a teenager simply rolls their eyes in disgust.
"It's so hard for parents when this happens," says Nadine Kaslow, PhD, a psychologist specializing in kids and families at Emory University in Atlanta. "But part of adolescence is about separating and individuating, and many kids need to reject their parents in order to find their own identities." Teens focus on their friends more than on their families, which is normal too.
Sometimes parents feel so hurt by their teens' treatment that they respond by returning the rejection -- which is a mistake. "Teenagers know that they still need their parents even if they can't admit it," says Goldman. "The roller-coaster they put you on is also the one they're feeling internally." As the parent, you need to stay calm and try to weather this teenage rebellion phase, which usually passes by the time a child is 16 or 17.
But no one's saying your teen should be allowed to be truly nasty or to curse at you; when this happens, you have to enforce basic behavior standards. One solution is the good, old-fashioned approach of: "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." By letting your teenager know that you're here for them no matter what, you make it more likely that they'll let down their guard and confide in you once in a while, which is a rare treat.
Communication Devices Rule Their Lives
It's ironic that teenage forms of communication like instant messaging, texting, and talking on cell phones make them less communicative, at least with the people they live with. In today's world, though, forbidding all use of electronic devices is not only unrealistic, but unkind. "Being networked with their friends is critical to most teens," says Goldman.
Look at the big picture, advises Susan Bartell, PhD, an adolescent psychologist in New York. If your child is functioning well in school, doing their chores at home and not completely retreating from family life, it's probably best to "lay off." It's also OK to set reasonable limits, such as no "texting" or cell phone calls during dinner. Some parents prefer not to let teens have computers in their rooms, since it makes it harder to supervise computer usage, and this is perfectly reasonable. Many experts also suggest establishing a rule that the computer has to be off at least one hour before bedtime, as a way to ensure that teens get more sleep.
One good way to limit how many minutes your teen spends talking on their cell and texting: Require them to pay their own cell phone bills. And do your best to monitor what your child does when they are online, particularly if they are using networking sites like MySpace and Facebook. You still own the home and computer -- so check into parental Internet controls and software to monitor use of any questionable web sites.
It's 10:30 p.m. and you told your daughter to be home by 10 p.m. Why do they ignore your curfew again and again?
"Part of what teens do is test limits," explains Goldman. "But the fact is that they actually want limits, so parents need to keep setting them."
Do some research before insisting that your child respect your curfew because it's possible that yours is unreasonable. Call a few of your kids' friends' parents and find out when they expect their kids home. Goldman suggests giving kids a 10-minute grace period, and if they defy that, to set consequences -- such as no going out at night for a week.
If it seems like your child is staying out late because they are up to no good, or don't feel happy at home, then you need to talk with them and figure out what might be going on. However, if your curfew is in line with what's typical in your teen's crowd, then it's time to set consequences and then enforce them if your teen continues to break your rules. When you make a rule, you have to mean it. You can't bluff teenagers -- they will always call you on it.
Hanging Out with Kids You Don't Like
You wince every time your son traipses through the door with their greasy-haired, noisy buddies. Should you suck it up, or say something?
Kids can wear weird clothes, pierce their lips, act rudely and still be decent kids, says Bartell, who advises parents to hold off on criticizing something as superficial as fashion in their kids' friends. "Teenagers are so attached to their friends that it's like criticizing them directly."
On the other hand, if you know that your child has taken up with a group of troubled teens who skip school and do drugs, a talk is in order. "Without putting him on the defensive, tell your child you're concerned about who he's hanging out with and that you're worried he's doing drugs," says Bartell. While you can't forbid your child to hang around with certain kids, you can intervene and try to nip dangerous behaviors in the bud. Don't be afraid to ask for professional help about hanging out with a crowd engaged in negative behavior. Counseling or family therapy can help.
Every little thing seems to set your daughter off lately, and the more you try to help, the more they sob or shout or slam the door.
Part of being a teenager is feeling things intensely, so what may seem like no big deal to you is hugely important to her.
Parents tend to trivialize the importance of things in teenagers' lives, says Bartell: "What happens is that kids feel misunderstood, and eventually they will stop telling you anything. Right now it is the most important thing in the world that her best friend is flirting with her boyfriend, and you need to take it seriously."
Don't offer advice, disparage their friends or try to minimize it by saying that one day they'll see how silly high school romances are. "Just listen and sympathize," says Bartell. And put yourself in their position -- because, after all, you were once there yourself.
