I am so sorry this happened to this wonderful family. Their child is precious. What an unfortunate event. I urge all school personnel to check id's. I am a teacher and we always check id's of new people picking up children from our school.
The other unfortunate thing about this story is that advocates for the family claimed this happened partly because she is African-American and an African-American man came in to pick her up. There was an incident in my home state very recently where someone abducted a child from a daycare center and guess what...they were white. I honestly do not see that race has anything to do with this sad and totally preventable situation.
I hope and pray this family can recover from this incident. They will definitely be in my prayers.
