Scott County is a great place to live — safe, welcoming, and community-driven. But a recent incident proves that even here, danger can show up at your front door.
According to LEX 18, a man was charged after attempting to lure children out of their home by falsely claiming their parents were outside injured. He tried multiple times, using fear and urgency as manipulation. Thankfully, the kids didn’t open the door. (lex18.com)
This happened here, in our community — not somewhere far away. It’s a reminder that while Scott County feels safe, complacency puts families at risk.
