Police Investigating Attempted Child Abduction Report at Hersheypark
Police are interviewing witnesses and reviewing surveillance video from the water park section of Hersheypark after an allegation of a child luring. Anywhere from 30,000 to 35,000 people visited the park over the Fourth of July holiday week and police in Dauphin County said they got a report Wednesday about a possible attempted abduction. A woman who was supervising a group of children reported that a young woman talked to an elementary school aged child at the top of one of the water slides. Police said the woman also approached the boy at the bottom of the slide. Investigators are looking into the case but say they don’t yet know if it rises to the level of a crime. It took Hersheypark workers 34 minutes to report the incident to police. In a statement, the park said that, in response to the incident, it is reviewing employees’ safety training.
