A man was arrested Tuesday after attempting to kidnap a 12-year-old girl who was walking to school, according to Salt Lake City Police.After an attempted kidnapping occurred in their own neighborhood, many parents of Liberty Elementary School students are concerned about the lack of communication, with many only finding out about the arrest from friends and family before the school.
Another parent, John Wilson, was worried over the mental health of the victim and children and school staff after hearing about the attempted abduction of the 12-year-old girl. “A lot of our children were already in bed; how could we talk to them if we didn’t see any news stories or social media postings?” Hill asked.
The Salt Lake City Police Department says they strategically delayed the release of information to help catch the suspect, who was apprehended just hours after the initial report. The Salt Lake City School District made it clear it was not the school or district’s decision to delay telling parents.
