The Rose Hill School District responded to last Friday’s Amber alert after a boy’s mother kidnapped her son from school.

The boy’s non-custodial parents took him from Rose Hill District Daycare. His mother did so by posing as a social worker. The child was later found safe in Oklahoma.

The Rose Hill School District on Wednesday called the incident “pre-planned, elaborate and very calculated” via Facebook before saying that it is reviewing its procedures regarding child safety. The district plans to provide updates on any changes to its procedures before the daycare reopens on May 31st.

The child’s parents, Danielle Banzet and Zachary Sisk, are currently being held in the Noble County Jail in Oklahoma on charges that include kidnapping, drugs, and felons in possession of weapons.
