PiscesBrawl Breaks Out at Chuck E. Cheese's
A fight broke out among five women (one of whom was pregnant) at a Pennsylvania Chuck E. Cheese's -- and the video made it to YouTube.
It turns out that there is a lot more than bacteria, oversized mice and pizza going on at the place "where a kid can be a kid" -- fist fights should also be on the menu.
In Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, an out-and-out brawl broke out among five women and a juvenile last week at Chuck E. Cheese's ... and one of the women was pregnant! A customer got the fight on film and posted it on YouTube. The footage has been taken down, but the fight's repercussions are still rippling through the community. A police officer will now be stationed at the Chuck E. Cheese's for 10 hours every Saturday and Sunday to deter the violence. Chuck E. Cheese's is paying the overtime for the officers' coverage.
Last month, we told you that police departments across the country were reporting a significant amount of disorderly conduct and battery going on amongst adults. In fact, many cities' law enforcement officials said that adult fights at Chuck E. Cheese's outnumber the battles at local restaurants and even bars.

Cops chalk up the adult squabbles to a combo of alcohol, noise, big crowds and heightened emotions around kid birthday parties. Some of that we can understand -- after all, who hasn't wanted to punch a rude parent at a birthday party? But acting it out is another story ... especially if your full-on brawl ends up on YouTube.
Brenda Holloway, company spokesperson for Chuck E. Cheese's, issued the following statement to CNN:
"We disagree with the recent WSJ article's broad implication that adult fights occur frequently at Chuck E. Cheese's. They do not. We challenge you to compare the volume of customers we serve and the reported incidents with similar types of adult misbehavior now being reported by Little League baseball, Pee Wee football. These adult altercations are so rare ... on average, only ONE store out of about EIGHT stores reports even ONE of these types of incidents even ONE TIME during a year."
Do you think Chuck E. Cheese's is safe for your family?

I live in PA, they in no way serve alcohol at Chucky Cheese. If it was involved they probably were drinking before they got there.
There should NOT be any alcohol served in any Chucky Cheese establishment
I worked at chuck e cheese for 5 yrs in PA (not this 1) & i couldnt tell u how many fight they had 2 break up. Parents always tried 2 beat up chucke too.
There r so many germs tthere. we had to clean out the ball pit once a week. We found everything u could imganine in there. From diapers to food to teeth
So much for having my daughter’s 2nd birthday party there. Talk about being discouraged from wanting to share in childhood memories!
i couldn’t believe it when i seen a lady with a glass of beer at the one in my home town we can’t smoke in this place but people can get loaded on beer and start fights i didn’t like this at all it’s like selling beer at a gas station and thinkin people won’t drink and drive what a bunch of crap. maad mom
I am amazed with it. It is a good thing for my research. Thanks
I think you are thinking like sukrat, but I think you should cover the other side of the topic in the post too…
I liked www.momlogic.com a lot. It has lots of useful info. This article is very professionally written. www.momlogic.com I will be back for sure.
I think that in an establishment where children are present and are designed to be in the establishment, ie: it is made primarily for them, there should be no alcohol served at all.
