Portmore Mayor Leon Thomas said that the incident may have caused a significant number of students to not turn up for school on Friday.
The mayor encouraged people to be their brother’s keeper and look out for the children.
“I got to understand that a female went to collect the children, took them outside and placed them in a car and took them away. The mother, I understand, was on her way to pick up the child, but because of the rain she was delayed,” he said.
