Parents of students at Black Forest Hills Elementary School in Aurora are demanding an independent investigation into the school’s response to the attempted kidnapping of a child last week.
On Monday, Principal Amanda Replogle sent another email with an explanation of what occurred, an apology for not bringing all students inside right away when the suspect approached students, and what security measures would be taken to make students feel safe. “This is now being treated as a near miss,” Shannon McCorison told The Denver Post of the district’s response. “And the fact is, a kid was attacked. He was attacked, whether it was successful or not.”
And they requested that the school hold an open meeting with parents about how the school handled the situation — including failures — that day, and implement permanent enhanced security measures at the school. Jass, the mother of a third grader and fifth grader at the school, became angrier the more she learned about the incident and what school administrators failed to do, she said. Her daughter was outside and saw the boys running from the man, but the students remained outside for a while before staff members brought them inside, Jass said. Later that same day, her younger son was allowed to go outside to play.
