ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- A mother was frantic and thought her two little girls had been kidnapped after they were picked up from an Anchorage school by a social worker by mistake.
Kimberly Booth told The Anchorage Daily News that when she went to pick up her daughters Wednesday at Muldoon Elementary the staff told her a children's service worker had taken them. But when she called the Office of Children's Services she was told it didn't have the kids and didn't know what the school was talking about.
It turns out a social worker did pick up the girls, ages 6 and 8, because of a name mix up. The children were away from school about 45 minutes before the worker realized the mistake, brought them back to school and apologized.
