Seaford HS Officials Receive Report Woman Approached Student

SEAFORD, NY — Seaford High School administration officials received a report that a woman claiming to be a police officer offered to give a female student a ride home on Monday.

School Superintendent Adele Pecora issued an alert to parents on Tuesday informing them the district’s administration had been informed the student was approached at about 2:15 p.m. on Seamans Neck Road near Clark Street by a middle-aged woman who was driving a white pickup truck with Florida plates.

The woman, who had short brown hair, offered to drive the student home said “something to the effect of, ‘I am a police officer, come on, it’s raining,’” Pecora’s alert continued.

“Please take this opportunity to remind your children not to talk to strangers. Together, we will keep our community safe,” she concluded.

A report was not filed with the Nassau County Police Department, a spokesman said.

A school district spokesman said it was the student’s parents who informed the district, and they said that they would be notifying the police. The district made its Problem Oriented Police officer “aware of the incident,” the spokesman stated in an email.
