Watch your kids closely, cops warn

The Guadalupe police warned parents not to let their children out of their sight after a nine-year-old boy went missing and a 14-year-old was allegedly abducted.

Senior Insp. Elisandro Quijano, chief of the Guadalupe Police Station, said that they have deployed policemen to guard the schools in their area of responsibility even before the incidents.

“We already coordinated with the school because the boy went missing there. We always deployed our police officers there,” he said.

However, Quijano said parents should help them in guarding their children especially during the class dismissal.

Alexander Geganto, father of Grade 4 student, Lex Aldrich “Bordugoy” Geganto, reported that his son went missing for about a week now.

Geganto said that he was fetching Lex from the Guadalupe Elementary School last Thursday (March 23), but when he turned back to check, his son was gone.

“We were about to board the jeepney, but when I looked back to where he first was, he was not there anymore,” he said.

He followed one of the other students who looked like Lex, but he was disappointed that it was not his son.

He suspected that it was Lex’s friends who enticed him to go play computer games.

As of now, they have not heard from Lex, even if they had tried to find him from their relatives’ or friends’ houses.

The family is asking the public to report to them or to the authorities if they find Lex.

In the case of the teenager, Quijano said she is already undergoing stress debriefing after her alleged abduction.

Quijano said the girl told the authorities that she was about to go home after her night class in Ramon Duterte Night High School when a black van stopped in front of her.

A man tried to grab her arm and bring her inside the van while another man was behind the wheel.

Quijano said the Grade 9 student managed to break away from her alleged abductors and report to the school personnel.

The Guadalupe police are still investigating the claim of the teenager while also locating the whereabouts of the boy. /
