A Lafayette mother tells
KLFY-TV 10 that a man allegedly attempted to abduct her 3-year-old son while they were in Girard Park.
Lauren Nichole says that while her child was in the fenced-in area for the playground, a man allegedly approached her son and asked if he wanted some candy that he had in his car.
According to Nichole, her son started to make his way towards the man, but that is when his niece, who is 11-years-old, stopped him from going any further.
The Lafayette mother says that she was not watching the kids at the time of the attempted abduction because she was tending to things after they ate, but she feels like the buddy system she implemented may have saved her son.
