Duquesne school officials are urging students who walk to school to go in groups, stay on their route and to be aware in the wake of an apparent child luring.
A principal said a student arrived at school on Tuesday shaken, saying a man had lured him as he walked on Grant Avenue. The boy said he escaped after kicking the man and running four blocks into J & S Food Mart, where he asked a clerk for help.
The school immediately notified parents with automated phone calls, and a letter alerted Duquesne parents of the suspected child luring.
A mother also spread the word on Facebook, writing, “Please be aware. We don’t need this in the community.”
