My area is under a local abduction alert, there is this guy trying to pick up kids, first he tried to pick up two girls, then two boys from Newell and another two boys at the ballfield 1/2 mile from my house, he tried to offer them a ball.
They said he was in a green van, but they found the van so apparently he switched vehicles.

Police Investigate Brazen Child Luring Attempt
JEFFERSON TWP. (KDKA) ― Police are investigating a child luring case in Fayette County.

An 8-year-old and 9-year-old girl told police two men tried to lure them into a van Monday around 5 p.m. in the 100-block of Washington Drive in Jefferson Township.

The girls, Jordan Smith and Marlie Bergman, were swimming in a back-yard pool at the time.

"I saw a man going 'shhh' with a gun and we acted like we didn't see him or anything," said Jordan.

"I was pretty shaky and really nervous and I thought I was going to get kidnapped," said Marlie.

Jordan's grandfather and mother were in the house at the time.

The girls managed to run away, and the men drove off in an older model green van with a roof rack.

Both men, who were white, were believed to be in their twenties.

One suspect was described as having short black spiked hair, about 5' 9" tall with a thin build.

He was wearing black jeans, a black short sleeve shirt with brown and black boots.

He was carrying a silver handgun.

The other suspect has brown spiked hair and was wearing a red shirt, blue shorts and boots.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the State Police Belle Vernon barracks at 724-929-6262.

That happened once to my niece when she was in grade school. She's 33 years old now. She was such a sweetheart and I remember my brother calling my Mom to tell her about it. Well, being the brave (and stupid) aunt that I am...I went looking for the SOB. Not sure what I would have done had I found him, but I was ready to kick some butt for sure. I was so upset and angry at the time it happened that I honestly believe I would have wrecked my car into his or ran him down. I wanted him caught so bad.

He wasn't caught, but from that time on, by brother and his wife took their two daughters to school.

Oh, Haley, that is so scary!!! At least the town has been alerted and hopefully all the parents are being careful about letting their daughters outside. If they've tried to pick up several kids then hopefully they'll have a good description and can catch them.

There is a family here that met their daughter's family at a restaurant in a town that was half way between them. The daughter's daughter went to the bathroom and she was taking a while getting back to the table so the Mom went to check on her. Well, she met two men carrying her daughter out of the bathroom and one explained to her that his daughter had gotten sick and she informed them that they had HER daughter. They dropped the girl and ran but, thank goodness, they were caught later by the police. Some people are so sick!
