The Southern California theme park Knott’s Berry Farm is implementing a chaperone policy after repeated fights among younger visitors, including multiple fights that broke out this past Saturday, leading the park to close three hours early. Under the new policy, which will be in effect on Fridays and Saturdays, all guests age 17 or younger will need to be accompanied by a chaperone who is at least 21 years old to get into the park. One chaperone may accompany no more than three guests age 17 or younger per day. The code of conduct says, "Chaperones must accompany their party during entry, remain with their party at all times during their visit to the park, and be available by phone throughout their stay."
