The Hood River County Sheriff’s Office says it responded on Friday evening to a report of a man in the Odell area who had attempted to lure a pre-teen into a car with him.  The Sheriff’s Office says the pre-teen responded appropriately, saying no and immediately running to a place of safety.  The male subject left the area prior to the arrival of deputies and has not yet been identified, though the Sheriff’s Office says it is working to do so.  The Sheriff’s Office adds it was sharing this information not to cause fear or paranoia, but to let parents know so that they can have good conversations with their kids about how to respond appropriately to strangers.  They encourage kids to play in groups, not be out after dark, and talk to them about what they should do if they find themselves around a stranger who is trying to interact with them.
