Between 3:30 p.m. and 3:40 p.m. on Thursday, detectives say the student stepped off the school bus and shortly thereafter was followed by a driver in a blue sedan.

The juvenile ran to a nearby residence when the driver, an older gray haired male, rolled the window down and told them to get in.

The child was not harmed.
