The daughter had asked Lafferty, an employee at the school, if she could play in the front until Lafferty was ready to go. Lafferty said that when she brought the car around to pick up her daughter only a few minutes later, her daughter told her what happened.  

At the time of the incident the girl was walking to the back of the school to meet her mom after her friends went home. Lafferty said her daughter is usually with her older sister, who happened to be home sick that day.
