A Missouri man is facing a child kidnapping charge after authorities say he kidnapped a student from an area middle school. James E. Paulette, 43, is accused of posing as a family member to sign an eighth-grade student out from Cross Keys Middle School on Tuesday. Court documents stated that Paulette claimed there was a death in the girl’s family, and the school allowed him to sign the 13-year-old out even though he was not a relative or known person of the parents.
