Reports of an attempted kidnapping at a local park are absolutely terrifying. Our thoughts are with the family, and everyone affected by this incident.
Public safety should never be a partisan issue. Families deserve to feel safe when they take their children to our city’s parks, playgrounds, and public spaces.
We encourage residents to stay vigilant, share information that may help law enforcement, and ask elected officials and candidates at every level to take public safety seriously. This is not the first such incident our city has faced, and it is unlikely to be the last unless we remain focused on prevention, enforcement, and assisting law enforcement where possible. See something, say something.
Every parent should have confidence that their children can play in our parks without fear. Public safety must remain a top priority for our elected leaders and candidates seeking office.
Police are searching for two suspects on e-bikes who apparently tried to abducted a 4-year-old girl from a park in Manassas this weekend, but were thwarted by the "courageous actions"
