Presumably the person must have talked; maybe it was clearly a woman's voice?
I wonder what would have happened if it really were the girls' mother who really did come to take her to breakfast and the school subjected her to extra scrutiny, demanded ID and refused to release the child because the mother's identity was shrouded? We'd probably be reading about a million dollar lawsuit for profiling and religious discrimination. The online buzz would probably be, "A little girl would know her own mother! Just because she's in Muslim garb, this school targeted her and she couldn't take own child!!! How outrageous!"
I've seen the men that were perfectly capable of speaking and even singing in a feminine voice. So I'd say as long as the person in question isn't found and identified, we cannot be sure it's a female.
Ummm... Nothing would happen? As far a I remember it was in the rules that the school should demand ID from a person trying to check the kid out. And I cannot imagine any parents and grandparents, happy with the fact that the school of their kids and grandkids is ready to release the children into the hands of anyone who comes, without checking who this person is.
Although I do not have the story, I read the abductor signed out the child and was told to wait for the child, but the abductor went directly to the classroom where there was a substitute teacher who was not aware that the child should not have been released.
Not sure why some are trying to make the perp be a man?
Anyway, I am so shocked and sad by whatever this little girl endured and so relieved she was found, hopefully, in time for a full recovery.
He was not aware that the child should have been released either. It appears this teacher gave the child to the stranger without proper procedures being followed. And the child wasn't signed out. The abductor was told to go to the office to sign the child out. Instead the abductor went right to the classroom.
I can't get over the fact that the abductor was in head-to-toe women's Islamic dress.
Aside from the fact that it isobviously is a great way to hide one's identity, it brings up a lot of questions for me. Does Nailla's actually know this woman but didn't recognize her because she was covered? Is Nailla's family muslim? If so, are there women at her family's mosque or community center that are usually covered head to toe who know Nailla's parents but Nailla may not necessarily have ever paid any attention to/know? Are there a lot of Muslims or members of the Nation of Islam in the community the school serves?
Is the whole Islamic dress thing just a ruse (not only to prevent IDing the woman) but also to set up the a fall guy/girl - "oh, some Muslim lady took her" - like Susan Smith claiming some black guy took her kids. When you think about the anti-Muslim vitriol in the media, it would make sense. And if so, trying to blame some non-existent Muslim lady for her kidnapping is disgusting (on top of how disgusting it already is). Seems like dressing in head-to-toe Islamic dress can be helpful to perps because they can't be IDed and also because they then are framing the current "boogeyman" in the media- Muslims. Sick.
I am so very thankful Nailla is alive. Poor baby.
Stories now say the child was signed out, but the signature was not legible.
"There's a list of people who can pick a child up. She did sign a name but it's not legible so we are not quite sure who the person is."

Why would a 5 yr old child go with this woman? It seems strange.

I'm an Occupational Therapist in an Elementary School. I evaluate kiddos that I do not know all the time. My room is in a modular building outside the main school, and every single one of those kids come with me without asking a question because their teacher tells them to. I go to a couple other schools just to do evaluations and do the same, and those kids have never seen me around the building before. I'm guessing this teacher told Nailla to go, and she did. She is just 5 after all.
I really think that there will be some sort of connection to the school or the afterschool program. The police stressed that this person somehow knew all the procedures, time frame she would be there (she missed running into Nailla's mother by a minute or two), location of the classroom and name of the student.

No Stranger Danger?
I can understand a teacher sending a student to you, as an OT, especially since other students go there for an evaluation. This would seem to be at the teacher's original suggestion. This, however, was not the teacher's idea.
