CBS 21 has a breaking news update out of Philadelphia, where officials have canceled an Amber Alert for a missing child.
_____________________________________________
The search is on for a missing 5-year-old girl who police say was abducted from a West Philadelphia School Monday morning.
Investigators say the child, identified as Nailla Robinson, was last seen at Bryant Elementary School at 60th and Cedar Avenue.
According to school officials, a little before 9 a.m., an adult dressed in Muslim-style clothing walked into the school and signed in at the front desk, but her name was not legible.
School officials say instead of walking to the principal’s office, the woman walked directly to the classroom and removed the child, claiming she was her daughter.
Police discovered that the girl was missing at about 3 p.m. Monday when a caretaker from the child’s after-school program came to pick her up.
School officials say when a parent or guardian arrives at the school to pick up a child, they must go to the principal’s office, leave an ID and wait for the child to be escorted to the principal’s office.
School district spokesman Francisco Gallard said there appeared to have been a “serious break in procedure.”
It is unknown at this time which way the woman and child went and their method of transportation.
Robinson is described as 4 feet tall, 35 pounds, with a medium skin tone and brown eyes. She was wearing glasses and has curly hair.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police immediately.
