In the article Cops seek man, van in attempted kidnapping of boy the article talks about how a man tried to kidnap a 10 year old boy. What matters in this article is trying to be safe when you are traveling from one place to another. The 10 year old was walking to school when a van pulled up and the man tried to get him into it. The boy refused to get in and the man tried to grab him, but the boy managed to get away and run to school. I think that this happens way too often and that people who try to do this are sick. I think that the boy should walk with someone or be driven to school from now on.
