Are You Taking Extra Precautions With Your Kids?

Our city has seen two attempted child abductions over the past few weeks. Patch wants to know how if you're doing anything extra to keep your family safe.


Dunwoody has seen two attempted child abductions over the last several weeks, the most recent coming late last month in broad daylight.

On Saturday, May 25, a man reportedly tried to abduct a teen at Chamblee Dunwoody Road and Cotillion Drive about 2:30 pm.

Back in March, Dunwoody Police reported a 12-year-old girl was followed while walking in the Springfield subdivision.
