PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia School District is conducting an internal review after police say a 5-year-old girl was taken from a classroom before being found safe Tuesday just outside the city.
Upper Darby police Superintendent Michael Chitwood says a man walking down the street around 4:40 a.m. heard cries for help and found Nailla Robinson hiding under a jungle gym in a park, wearing only a T-shirt.
Police are searching for her abductor.
A school district spokesman says a woman claiming to be the girl's mother went to the school and signed in at the front door Monday.
But the spokesman, Fernando Gallard, says the woman then went straight to the classroom to get the girl and did not stop at the front office.
He says the teacher let the child go.
