San Marcos police responded to concerns about a possible kidnapping near Goodnight Middle School on Wednesday.
San Marcos Police Department officers were dispatched to the intersection of Highway 123 and Broadway Street for a welfare concern at approximately 4:45 p.m. on Wednesday. Officials said when police arrived they learned a child had lost her cell phone and was waiting to be picked up near the school by their mother. Police said the child was approached by a woman in a red vehicle who asked to take the child home.
The child proceeded to run away after she became fearful that the woman was trying to take them from the school, police said. Concerned citizens saw the child running and called police to report the incident, officials said, adding that the child's mother arrived shortly after and took her home.
