Local news channel WUPW is reporting the March 23rd abduction incident was false and that the girl who made the claim has been charged in Lucas County Juvenile Court on a count of making false alarms earlier today.
This was the third incident as reported by the Toledo Blade and other local media.
This week's edition of the Toledo Free Press has an article titled Experts offer tips for abduction prevention; still a valid concern because at this point the two other abduction attempts are believed to be true as well as the three Perrysburg incidents.
One does wonder though if it had been known that this third abduction attempt was false if the Mayor would have issued this release:
Beginning March 24, Toledo police and firefighters will team up in a citywide effort to patrol neighborhoods surrounding schools before and after classes. The extra precautions come in response to three attempted abductions of teenage girls that occurred in the past eight days. Composite sketches of two of the alleged perpetrators in those incidents have been disseminated throughout the city to public safety officials. Mayor Carty Finkbeiner urged anyone with information on any of the cases to contact Crimestoppers, police or his office.
At this point no word on if the increased patrols will continue.

They should bill the goofy kid for the extra money the city spent on investigating her claim.
What a doofus. Legitimate victims are the ones who suffer most by morons like this.
Is this the one who said she used a hammer to hit him?
No, this is the one who said she kneed him in the groin area. The second one was the one who said she used the hammer.

Lisa,
I'm saddened that you would post an article like this as it reminds me of the tabloid press.
Welcome back from fishing lib_dem. I disagree that this was tabloid news. It was an important story. The mayor increased patrols and a great deal of worry and concern was caused by the belief there was not just two men out there but three preying on young girls from the same area.
As a former victim, I don't appreciate those who claim to be one to gain attention. It adds a layer of doubt that the next victim has to deal with thanks to her irresponsibility.
