Scary Stuff
Looks like one of the local schools may have prevented a child abduction.
When a scruffy-looking man walked into Grace Hill Elementary School on Tuesday afternoon and asked to pick up a 6-year-old boy, school employees did what came naturally: They verified the names on the student’s approved pickup list and refused to hand over the child.
The man then quickly left. The school promptly notified the child's mother of the incident. When she could not identify the man from the school's security cameras, police began a search for him. They haven't found him yet.
Kudos to the school for following proper security measures, even though the man asked for the child by name.
Pretty freakin' scary.
