(KAIR)--A rumor, circulating on social media, has no factual basis.
That's the word from the City of Horton Police Department regarding the allegation that a white van has attempted to kidnap children at Brown County area schools.
The post apparently specified that the van, with no side windows, was spotted near the Horton High School, as well as the Kickapoo Reservation, and in Hiawatha.
A post on the Horton Police Department's official Facebook page states the rumor is not true, with no evidence found to support the claims.
However, the police department's post says the hoax is an opportunity to remind children of the importance of staying aware and safe and includes a graphic of what to do to keep out of the way of danger.
We've shared that image on our website at mscnews.net.
