UPDATE:

School District 23 officials have clarified the alleged incident in Rose Valley occurred on Friday, Feb. 13. According to the district the child reported the incident to his parents who, in turn, contacted RCMP.

The district reminds students to report any incident such as these to school officials immediately.

A second incident of possible child luring has come to light.

This involved a student at Rose Valley Elementary School in West Kelowna last Friday.

According to a parent at the school an email was sent to parents of children at Rose Valley Elementary after the incident came to light.

The email read:

"Hi everyone, We had a stranger in a black car approach one of our students last Friday morning on the way to school along West Kelowna Rd.

The man tried to convince the student to get into his car for a ride to school. Our concern is that the student told some friends at school about it and they laughed it off as no big deal and the student didn’t report it to the office or teacher.

If anything like this happens again, the student should notify the school right away so that we can report it to the RCMP.

Also, when asked, “When is it OK to get a ride with someone?” the student answered, “When you know the person.” This is not the right answer.

The right answer is, “When your parents know about it.” We’ve included a “Street Proofing” document from the RCMP to help discuss this with your child (in particular, points 5, 7, 8 and 9). Thanks for your help."

On Monday, RCMP warned of a similar incident near Springvalley School.
