A 43-year-old Missouri man is charged with child kidnapping after officials claim he posed as a relative to sign a 13-year-old student out from school. According to authorities, the kidnapping occurred shortly after 7:30 a.m. at Cross Keys Middle School last Tuesday. Officials said James E. Paulette walked into the school office and pretended to be a family member of the eighth-grade student. He told officials that a member of the child’s family had died, and the school permitted him to sign her out. Authorities said Paulette faces significant prison time if convicted of child kidnapping.
