Police are investigating an attempted abduction of a little girl in the Carmichael Road area Monday, according to head of the National Crime Prevention Office Superintendent Stephen Dean.
The girl's father, Angelo Ingraham, told The Nassau Guardian yesterday that he is enraged over what happened to his 10-year-old daughter, especially after the death of 11-year-old Marco Archer.
Marco went missing on September 23.  He was found dead five days later.
Ingraham said if it had not been for the girl's bravery, she might not have been able to get away from the men who allegedly attempted to abduct her around 7:30 a.m.
"I still can't believe this happened.  My daughter is brave and I just thank God she is alright," said Ingraham.
He said his daughter and her friend were minutes away from the Gerald Cash Primary School when two men attempted to pull them into their vehicle.
"My daughter is traumatized by this incident. When I saw the look on her face I knew that she was afraid," he said.
"My daughter held on to her friend's backpack as one of the men attempted to pull her in the car. She held on and eventually they both were able to get away."
Following the incident, Ingraham said he filed a report at the Carmichael Police Station.
He said the girl was able to provide police with a description of the men.
"From now on my daughter will no longer be walking to school by herself," Ingraham said.
"Parents have to be more responsible for their children's safety.  We have to make sure that our children get to and from school safely every day because you never know what can happen," he said.
Dean could not confirm whether police were questioning anyone in connection with this matter.
