Attemped Abductions Cause Alarm

by Elma Gonzalez



Last Monday SOH students received a phone call at about 5:00pm informing them about an attempted abduction. According to Ms. Jaramillo, the assistant principal, the girl was returning home through Nestor Park at 3:00pm when a red truck approached her occupied by two men. The student was grabbed by these men, but was able to escape to safety by running back to school, and reporting the incident.



A similar incident occurred this past November. After a minimum day at school, a girl, also heading home, was approached by two men in a truck. They beckoned her to their car and tried to grab her. Luckily, she was able to escape.



"These two men that attempted to abduct the student last week fit the description of the two males in November," says Ms. Jaramillo, assistant principal. "Students must be warned for future attacks". These are not just random incidents so be careful, if you experience or have experienced a similar situations do not keep quiet, inform your parents and the police.
