Wave of teen hoodlumism hits New York state park camps
Park officials blame apathetic parents for a surge of rowdy drunken and obscene conduct by teenagers at Chenango Valley and Green Lakes parks in Central New York. The Parks Commission chair says lack of supervision fuels the fad, with youths aged 16 to 18 driving cars drinking and causing property damage. A spokesman notes teens come from good families, not the usual urban hoodlums, and patrols are limited to a few staff. Three married couples mailed Governor Rockefeller protesting a Sunday picnic incident witnessed last month.
