Dear Parents,

At the direction of the Catholic schools office, we are forwarding this
important information. The Catholic Schools Office of the Archdiocese of
Washington has become aware of a disturbing scam being conducted via
telephone recently. An unidentified individual has called parents, claimed
to have kidnapped a child of theirs, and demanded ransom. In both cases we
are aware of – one involving a parent at an archdiocesan school, and the
other a parent at a local private school – the claims have been false, with
the children safe and accounted for. In one of the cases, the caller
purported to put the kidnapped child on the phone and have her ask for
help. If you receive a call like this, please call the police immediately.

As with all matters involving children, we strive to always be diligent to
keep our schools safe and secure. As a follow-up to the incident today
involving one of our archdiocesan schools, the Office of Child and Youth
Protection responded immediately to support the parent and school
leadership in completing a police report on the occurrence.

As always, the safety of your children remains our highest priority.

Sincerely,

Cheri L. Wood

at the direction of:

*Associate Superintendent*
Archdiocese of Washington Catholic Schools
