The footage then shows the adult closing in on one of the kids — tripping while lunging at the child with a white blanket. The suspect actually had hold of the child and only lost his grip when falling, the police documents said. A teacher’s assistant yelled at the suspect who fled as another approached. Galligan — who identifies as male — was arrested at a nearby Walgreens and charged with one count of attempted kidnapping. He reeked of alcohol and had white powder smeared on his face at the time of the incident, the nearly abducted child told cops.
Galligan was put on the sex offender registry in 2011 when convicted of non-consent sexual contact, according to his latest arrest affidavit, which did not elaborate on the incident.That same year, Galligan opened up on social media about suffering depression while taking male hormones as part of his transition. His family blamed mental health issues for his latest legal woes, CBS Colorado said.The school district released the video while vowing to investigate and improve safety protocols.
“We are doing a thorough investigation. We’re looking at exactly what happened and what transpired afterwards as well. We take safety as a high priority,” said Lauren Snell, CCSD Public Information Officer.White said that the district “did admit fault” and “apologize” during Monday’s meeting with parents — but says that is not enough.
“We want an independent investigation of it, we want people put on administrative leave, we want people fired,” the dad told CBS Colorado.“ This is something that you fear as a parent. They’re in the custody of adults that are supposed to be trained professionals, and they weren’t. They categorically failed across the board, from the administration on site to the administration at Cherry Creek to the heads of security,” said White.
“We’re asking for accountability.” The suspect, who is identified as male in the arrest affidavit, shared news of his transition on Facebook back in 2011. “So I'm starting my hormone shots and i really cant wait im on my hormone pills I've been on them for almost 4 months i wake up all depressed and crying but in the end its gonna be totally worth it you know what i mean I'm really excited my measurements are already changing and im super thrilled,” he wrote.
Galligan was put on the sex offender registry and was convicted that same year of non-consent sexual contact, according to his latest arrest affidavit.
