The couple’s 9-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter were playing outside when that car pulled up. Their son ran inside and told Shannon what happened. She immediately ran outside.
It’s been two months since investigators said Mohammad Ajoly was in a Mercer Island neighborhood and tried to lure two kids into his car. Court documents detail how the suspect opened the driver’s side door and waved a stuffed panda, gesturing for the 9-year-old to come to him. "It was the worst parent nightmare," Rodolfo Hernandez Mcintyre said. For him and his wife Shannon, what happened that day is top of mind every day.
"It’s horrible just to think about it," Rodolfo Hernandez Mcintyre said. They’re now urging all parents to not just talk about stranger danger, but also practice."The same way you practice for an earthquake, we practice with our kids," Rodolfo Hernandez Mcintyre said."We were surprised that it happened to us. At the same time, I think the message is, it could happen to anyone at any time and anywhere.
