Scared mom sent daughter to school with note asking for help

CLINTON, La. (AP) — A Louisiana woman has been reunited with her daughter after sending the 11-year-old girl to school with a note suggesting the mother was being held against her will by her boyfriend, authorities said.

East Feliciana Parish Sheriff Jeff Travis said the local school superintendent contacted his office Tuesday morning after the girl arrived at East Feliciana Middle School in Clinton and handed her mother's handwritten note to a school official.

"She implied in the note that she was being held against her will and needed help," Travis said.
