Good evening,
In light of a recent incident in our community involving a child being forced into a van, we urge all parents and guardians to speak with their children about the dangers of interacting with strangers.
Please remind your children to stay alert, never approach or accept anything from strangers, and to seek help immediately if they feel unsafe.
If you witness any suspicious activity, report it to local authorities immediately. Your vigilance can help protect our community.
Sincerely,
Christie Holderman
