Vermont State Police are investigating an incident that occurred on German Flats Road in Fayston this morning, January 27, involving a student walking to the school encountered a woman in a blue car with Vermont license plates who pulled over and stopped her car to try and get him into her car.
HUUSD superintendent Dr. Mike Leichliter and Fayston Elementary School principal Justina Boyden reported that the women got out of her car and put her hands on the student. The student pulled away and continued to school where he reported what happened to Boyden.
We are very proud of him for responding quickly and appropriately. The matter was immediately reported to the Vermont State Police, who are aware and following up,” Leichliter and Boyden wrote in a communication to district families.
"We have alerted staff to remain vigilant, and we encourage families to take a moment to review with children how to respond to situations involving strangers. Remind them not to approach unknown individuals or vehicles and to report anything that makes them uncomfortable to a trusted adult immediately,” they added.
They asked that folks contact the Vermont State Police if they observe a vehicle that matches this description and the situation seems suspicious.
