PHILADELPHIA – A 5-year-old girl is safe after allegedly being kidnapped from her Philadelphia elementary school, where officials were unaware of her disappearance for six dangerous hours.

Nailla Robinson, 5, was found around 4:40 a.m. Tuesday morning barely dressed and crying under a slide at a nearby playground. The girl was transported to the Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania to be checked for hypothermia and any signs of assault.

Police say Robinson was abducted from school Monday. She was blindfolded and walked a couple of blocks to a house. The little girl told police a teenager later took her from that house to the playground, according to ABC News.

Surveillance video shows Robinson being taken from Bryant Elementary School at about 8:50 a.m. Monday by an unidentified woman wearing a head garb that covered her face. The school was unaware Robinson was missing until six hours later when the girl’s day care arrived to pick her up, reports the news site.

“I don’t know if it’s an accident or whatever it is, please bring my baby home,” the girl’s mother, Latifah Rashid, begged Monday.

Capt. John Darby, commanding officer of Special Victims, said he believes the kidnapping was planned.

“It appears this is not a random act,” said Darby. “[She] knew exactly what to do.”

The woman “told her teacher that she was me, her mother, and that she was taking her out to breakfast and Nailla was already signed out at the office and she took my child and left,” said Rashid.

Police say there was a substitute teacher in the classroom at the time of the abduction.

District policy requires anyone signing out a student to go to the main office and provide identification.  In this case, the woman was able to sign in at a desk in the hallway and walk directly into the child’s classroom.

“There’s a list of people who can pick a child up,” said Lt. John Walker of the Philadelphia Police Department. “She did sign a name but it’s not legible so we are not quite sure who the person is.”

The woman did not show any identification and police say neither parent gave permission for the child to be taken out of school.

The school district has since released a statement saying it is investigating the apparent breakdown in procedures.

“It’s disturbing that an adult is able to walk into a classroom and have the teacher release the child without knowing who the adult is,” said Fernando Gallard, a spokesman for the district.

Officials are reaching out to all school personnel and parents to reinforce the proper procedures for signing out students.
