Attempted Child Abduction Reported in Braun Point

News4 WOAI reported a "near-kidnapping" last night in Braun Point. An eight year old child walking home from his neighborhood school bus stop near 1604 and Braun yesterday was approached by a man in a silver Toyota. According to the report, the man offered a ride and other enticements. The child's family filed a police report.

Incidentally, last Friday afternoon, 18 September, a man driving a black convertible addressed a 12 year old boy outside his Finesilver Ranch home, asking his availability for yard work. The incident turned suspicious when the man sped off upon seeing an adult exit the house.

At Braun Point, the eight year old, recalling a "stranger danger" lesson, knew to refuse the man's offer. This a good time to remind your children of these basic safety tips.
