In reviewing surveillance footage, police determined the woman at the center of the allegation didn't exhibit 'any behavior deemed inappropriate or unusual'

07/09/2019 UPDATE: Police confirmed on Tuesday that a reported abduction attempt at Hersheypark did not actually take place, refuting a witness’ account.

Police reviewed the surveillance footage of the alleged incident, which showed that the accused woman is her late teens. The teen, who has not yet been identified, seemed to be “enjoying a normal day in the water park without incident or any behavior deemed inappropriate or unusual.”A woman says a theme park “dropped the ball” and did not act appropriately in response to a possible child abduction case on its premises.

“She was waiting for the boy when he came down the slide and then attempted to walk away with him telling him that he would have fun on the slide in another area of the water park,” Webb wrote. “My daughter told her ‘no, he needs to stay with our group’ and a second later the woman grabbed his arm and tried to walk off with him.”

In addition to this, while Webb wrote that once she did meet with security, she wanted them to immediately call local enforcement, Derry Township Police, which they refused to do.
