Abduction Attempt Reported Near Ida Price School

In response to a suspect abduction attempt against an 11-year-old boy on Wednesday this week, neighbors have begun circulating an SJPD “School Safety Alert” via email and other online forums.

According to the release, the eleven-year-old was approached by a woman in a car around 8:00 am on Wednesday, December 9, near the corner of Harris & New Jersey, northwest of the intersection of Curtner & Leigh.

On 12-9-09 between 8:00 a.m. and 8:15 a.m., an 11 year-old male juvenile was walking to school on Harris Ave in the Cambrian Park area of San Jose when he was approached by a “lone female” in a vehicle. The female stopped her vehicle alongside of the 11 year-old male and yelled out “Your mom has just had a heart attack. Get in the car and I will drive you to the hospital”.

Since the child had just left his house a few minutes prior, he knew that his mother was alright. The juvenile then ran to his school. While running, he observed the vehicle leaving westbound on Harris Avenue .

The female is described as a white female adult in her 30’s, blond hair in a ponytail. She was last seen wearing a black t-shirt. She was also seen wearing large rimmed glasses.

The vehicle is described as a Chevrolet 4 door sedan or an SUV type vehicle.

Additional details were provided by the mother of the boy, who circulated an email to friends before the official SJPD announcement. In an apparent effort to lure the boy into her car, the female suspect told him that his mother had suffered a heart attack. The boy ignored the story, ran to school, and later informed a teacher of what happened.

Despite what might seem like an unlikely story, both educators and SJPD believe the boy is telling the truth, according to his mother.
