Recent incidents of flash crowds of teens gathered in public places are causing so much concern in Northeast Ohio that the Cuyahoga County Sheriff has opened a tip line and elected leaders are seeking legislative solutions. On the next Sound of Ideas, we'll talk about the response to what some call a serious community problem, one with potential for violence, and what others call an over-reaction driven by fear and ignorance. Tuesday at 9 on 90.3.
