2000 Teens Destroy Under-Construction Ontario Mansion after Social Media Fuels Party News

More than 2,000 teens attended a party at an under-construction mansion in Ontario, Canada, after it was promoted heavily on twitter with the hashtag #mansionparty .When the police came in to get the situation under control, several of them tried to escape smashing windows and causing damages worth $70,000 to the partly-built structure.

The homeowner's son wanted to throw a party and his mother agreed that he could have some friends over. However, the number of attendees increased exponentially after partygoers started posting pictures and videos of the revelry on several social media outlets.

After teens started pouring in at an alarming rate, the neighbors called 911 for assistance. As the police arrived (with about 60 units) to break the party up, many tried to scurry out of the mansion, breaking windows and causing damages.

"There was just kids coming in packs of 10, 20 - literally no room to walk in the house," a neighbor told CNN Network.

Many were arrested over minor charges like underage drinking, assaulting officers and intoxication.

"There was a potential, a real potential, for something to happen - something deadly," Constable Thomas Ruttan, with Peel Regional Police told the channel.

Police officials warn against such parties.

"We want to make the public aware that social media may not be the best place to advertise the party, simply because we're not really aware of just how far-reaching social media really is," Thomas Ruttin, Peel Police Constable told The Brampton Guardian.
