Police say a Brooklyn "kidnapping" suspect accidentally picked up the wrong child from school, but the incident has raised concerns for parents. Authorities say the elderly man entered PS 189 on East New York Ave and took a 6-year-old girl by the hand in a case of mistaken identity. The man was supposed to pick up another child from the same after-school program. The girl's 10-year-old brother followed the two until they arrived in front of 318 Rochester Avenue, when the man released the 6-year-old's hand. The girl's brother immediately grabbed his sister, and they both made their way to the home of a relative who lived nearby. No criminality is involved, and the elderly man will not be charged.
