Thankfully, the young girl was able to run away home and call the police.
Her mother, Dianna Larkin, is proud of how she handled herself.

“It's just really scary. It's absolutely terrifying that somebody here- who was obviously looking for young girls- asked her if she went to the school before asking her for sex,” Larkin said. "I have great faith in this community. If he's here, well find him."
The suspect is described as in his late 40s early 50s with a regular height and build.
He has gray, thinning hair and a gray beard, and was driving a white sedan.
The Clay County Sheriff's Office is investigating.
