An amusement park in Missouri established a chaperone policy after a fight involving 100 to 150 teenagers broke out over the weekend, requiring law enforcement to help break it up.
The Clay County Sheriff's Office said in a press release that the teenagers were involved in a fight at the Worlds of Fun amusement park in Kansas City, Missouri, on Saturday.
In a Wednesday announcement, Worlds of Fun announced it would be implementing a chaperone policy, requiring all people ages 15 or younger must be with a person who is at least 21 in order to "be admitted to, or remain in, the park after 4:00 p.m."
"For decades, Worlds of Fun has been a place where families and friends come together to enjoy our one-of-a-kind park. Millions of guests have counted on us for their daily dose of wholesome family fun, and we’re committed to keeping that promise going forward," a statement along with the policy states.

The new chaperone policy will go into effect on Saturday.
Off-duty deputies and park security officers worked with the Kansas City Police Department worked to move the teenagers out of the park.
One teenage girl refused to leave the park and punched a deputy in the face, leaving the law enforcement official with "superficial injuries," according to the press release.
