On September 22, news from Dong Hai Ward Police said that there were results confirming the incident related to the man coming to school to pick up the wrong student.
Yesterday (September 21), in the area of Dong Hai Secondary School (main school), Dong Hai ward, the incident of a man coming to pick up a student but mistakenly recognizing another child occurred, causing concern for parents and students.
According to initial information, the man was asked by a family member to come to school to pick up a student.
However, because he did not remember clearly the face of the child he needed to pick up, this person mistakenly recognized another student, came to ask about it and offered to take him home.
Because she did not know the man, the student did not agree to follow and actively contacted the family.
When picking up their child, the parents were told about the incident by the child, so they took pictures of the man and informed the homeroom teacher.
The school and parents then jointly raised their vigilance to ensure the safety of students.
From this information, some teachers and parents misunderstood that this could be a case of strangers approaching and seducing children.
Immediately after grasping the information, Dong Hai Ward Police proceeded to verify and clarify the incident.
The verification results showed that the man appearing in the photo was asked by a family member to come to school to pick up the student. Because he did not remember the child's face clearly, this person picked up the wrong student.
Dong Hai Ward Police determined that there was no incident of seducing or kidnapping students as initially feared.
The Police agency requests parents and people not to continue sharing images and information in the direction that the above man has acts of seducing and kidnapping children.
Through the incident, Dong Hai Ward Police recommends that families when asking others to pick up and drop off their children need to notify children and teachers in advance, and provide clear information about the person who picks them up.
