Things turned violent at a McDonald’s in Southern California when a group of teenage girls started throwing items at employees and other customers after being asked to leave the play area.

A mother, 28, whose two small children were playing in the kids' area at the Moreno Valley location, confronted the older girls and asked them to leave. But the girls allegedly began throwing cups of water and ice at the woman when she refused to fight them, CBSLA reports.
