[Hank]

On Tuesday, June 10, 2014 at 2:16 PM, deputies responded to a private residence located on Four Seasons Drive for a suspicious incident. The Investigation revealed unidentified subjects attempted to lure a 6 year old boy into a vehicle while he was playing in the front yard of his home. The incident was captured on the home's video surveillance camera. The vehicle appears to be a red sport utility vehicle - make and model are undetermined. This image is from the surveillance footage.

The passenger of the vehicle is described as a younger white female with blonde hair. The driver is described as an older African American male. There was a younger child in the backseat.

Looks like a red Mini Cooper....

Saw this article too. Kind of scary that there was another passenger and a kid in the vehicle (or thought to be at least) as well.

I'm curious as to the child in the back seat? also, I hate to be Debbie Downer, but doesn't a 6 year old love all the attention when they tell a story, and especially when it gets SO much attention?

In this situation, I wouldn't take any chances as to whether the story was fabricated for attention.

Agree with Hank, my son is 6 & wouldn't dare make up something so serious.

Mine wouldn't just because he isn't an attention person. He shirks talking to people as much as he can.

This will definitely put me on guard with regard to letting him loose in the yard alone. I do that now and pop my head out every few mins to check on him.

There is security film footage to back up his 6-year old self story. What exactly are your doubting?

"We're lost and need directions. Are your parents around?"

"We're lost and need directions. Are your parents around?"

:shrug:

You talked to strangers, accepted candy and searched for "lost puppies" a lot when you were little didn'tchu?

The kid in the back seat of the vehicle could have recognized the kid in the front yard as a classmate.

Now let's stop and think about this... the boy was uncomfortable with whatever transpired. He told his parents. His parents listened to what he had to say and agreed enough to call the police. The police listened to what he and his parents had to say... watched the video footage and were concerned enough to put out a press release in order to put parents on alert and to possibly find these people for additional questioning.

I'm just not seeing this all come about because little Johnny in the back seat knew little Billy in the yard and the parents wanted just wanted to shout, "Hey!"

Remember the Van incident awhile back?
