Authorities say a 7-year-old girl recalled her stranger danger training and was able to get away from a parolee who tried to abduct her at a Walmart store in west Georgia.
The NBC station in Atlanta reports the girl plans to talk with her 2nd grade classmates about her ordeal on Friday.
Police Chief Keith Pesnell says 25-year-old Thomas A. Woods of
Austell, Ga., tried to take the girl Wednesday from a toy aisle while her mom was in a different aisle.
Security video from the store shows a man carrying the girl away, releasing her after she struggled to get away.
Pesnell says Woods faces a charge of attempted kidnapping and was out on parole after being convicted of voluntary manslaughter in a suburban Atlanta county.
