Preschooler makes up tale of abduction

Okay, for a 4 year old to even wrap her mind around such a lie, makes you question her mental health and what could be going on in her home. I can understand have a vivid imagination, but to think of something so sinister, it’s just bizarre.

Youngster invented a detailed story about a spiky-haired man, based on a TV show, because she was angry with her mother, police report.

When authorities were told a 4-year-old girl had reported that a man tried to kidnap her from a playground, they dispatched eight squad cars, a helicopter and a dozen deputies to track down the perpetrator.

For four hours Tuesday, they canvassed the girl’s Midway City neighborhood, an unincorporated area in the middle of Orange County. Officers closed the playground where the girl said the man had tried to snatch her and investigators searched the neighborhood for the person the child had described — a spiky-haired man with a dragon tattoo.
