"Waterloo police continue to investigate the attempted abduction of a grade school student after class Wednesday.
...
According to the girl's account, a black van stopped at the intersection, and the woman exited the vehicle and grabbed her. When the girl pulled free and ran off, the woman returned to the van, which drove south on Idaho toward Dubuque Road.
...
Police said the suspect is described as a middle-age white female with gray hair. She is around 5 feet 9 inches tall, with a medium build and wearing a black shirt and black pants.
The driver is described as a middle-aged black male with gray hair. He was driving a black van with no windows and license plate that may include the numbers "1050."

If the children were approached by a woman, they may have had their guard down.
