]An official of Doña Carmen Denia National High School (DCDNHS) in Toril, Davao City denied kidnapping attempt reports circulating online involving one of its Grade 9 students.
This is about a viral post regarding the attempted kidnapping of a student of DCDNHS that happened Thursday afternoon.
William Dabon Enriquez, principal of DCDNHS, told Edge Davao that it is found out during their investigation that the alleged “kidnapper” is a person with a mental problem.
“Paggawas sa mga estduyante imposible na kidnapon to siya kay daghan man mga bata nagsabay sa iyaha. Sa among pag imbestiga, gipangutana daw ang bata ‘asa ka gang?’ tubag niya “uli na kol” ‘uban ta’ maniudto ta’’ librehon tika’. ‘Dili ko kol’. Ug iyahang giwakli ang kamot sa tao ug nisyagit siya ug nidagan ang tao. Unya nibalik siya sa among guwardiya. Kato diay tawhana taga Toril to ug ginapangita na sa pulis karon. Ang uban maestra nakasinati pud ug ingon ani sa parehong tao. Sa simbahan nahitabo. Gi described sa teacher dakong tao, dako ug tiyan, taas ug buhok, pikuton ang mata, nagshort ug nag tsinelas. Mura ug naa’y problema sa pangisip,” Enriquez said.
Enriquez also confirmed there was no black van contrary to reports.
“Pero dili tinuod na naay van na itom. Gitan-aw namo sa cctv wala man. Pero delikado gihapon ni nga tao. Gitambagan namo ang istudyante na muadto sa police station aron ma blotter,” he said.
Police personnel is already deployed in the said school to ensure the safety of the students.
The police are now looking for the said stray person in Toril following the alleged kidnapping incident and responsible for traumatizing the student.
Last week, Mayor Sebastian “Baste” Duterte warned the public not to post unverified crime incidents online and not to believe unconfirmed reports.
He told the public to verify the reports from the media and get confirmation from the police.
