The girl was taken Jan. 14 out of her kindergarten classroom at W.C. Bryant Elementary School in West Philadelphia by a woman who pretended to be her mother, a Muslim who wears traditional Islamic black clothing that includes a veil and gloves.

The kidnapping shocked the city because of the brazen abduction and the total lapse in school security, especially since it happened just one month after the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.

The principal at Bryant Elementary School was replaced and action was taken against three other employees two weeks after the kidnapping.

The abducted girl was the subject of a nationwide Amber Alert until she was found in the early morning hours of Jan. 15 at an Upper Darby Township playground in the Cobbs Creek Parkway – just blocks from her school and the home where she was allegedly held and raped.

Although her name was released when she was abducted, The Morning Call is withholding her name in this report because the charges indicate she is an alleged sexual assault victim. The Morning Call generally withholds the names of all sexual assault victims.

According to other published reports and wire stories, Regusters lives at 6243 Walton Ave., the house where police executed a search warrant last week.
