Two schools on alert
Jun 10, 2010
By Carolyn Quek
TWO international schools have sent alerts to parents following at least two reports of strangers here approaching young children and trying to coax the youngsters into following them.
The Tanglin Trust School sent out an e-mail message to parents on Monday, and the United World College of South East Asia (UWCSEA) followed with one the next day, after parents had asked about the incident involving a Tanglin pupil.
Tanglin Trust's director of education David Clegg confirmed that an encounter had happened involving a boy in its infant school, which is for children aged three to seven.
The police also confirmed that a report was lodged last week and that they are investigating the matter.
The incident was first publicised by the six-year-old's mother, who sent an e-mail message to warn other parents. It then circulated on forums for expatriate families.
In her e-mail, she said that her son, a Briton, was at a taxi stand at Turf City with the family's maid when they were approached by a young woman.
