And perhaps the news of that event is what sent a pair of voice notes whipping around the WhatsApp circuit at almost the speed of light this afternoon.
It is from a senior police officer, ASP Carla Gamboa who is also a mother. She seemed to be sharing information with a parents' school - chat group about a very disturbing report of a foiled kidnapping. Here's what she said:
Voice of: ASP Karla Gamboa
"CIB officers have interviewed the child in the presence of her parents and the child was really shaken up and doesn't really want to go in depth. However, the child is saying that this occurred at 88 Shopping Center that is located corner Neal Pen Road and Central American Boulevard by the stoplight. She is saying that she was coming to school this morning when she was approached from behind. Occupants of the vehicle were two dark complexion male persons and the van is black and tinted. Presently, police are investigating the matter, trying to view cameras in the area. For right now I am asking all those on this blog or who could pass on this information to alert and inform people to have their children be on the lookout. I get to understand this said van was in Ladyville."
The matter has been forwarded to precinct one but at this time police have given no official confirmation about the report.
