BELLEVUE- Man Tries to Pick Up Student

KIRO TV reports that a man tried to pick up a student waiting for his parents to pick him up after school late in the afternoon on Monday (February 22, 2010). The man said he wanted help to find his dog. This is a common ploy by sexual predators to lure young children. For more about the incident go to:
