cloudy day ahead with a few mental evaluation tonight after she's accused undergoing mental evaluation tonight after she's accused of trying to take a 9 year old child from a local school bus stop. the incident happened monday morning at the corner of denver and 2nd in waterloo. the 9 year old was waiting for the school bus...just down the street from his home a young woman, in her early 20s, told his bus driver, that the boy needed to go with her. she told police she thought the boy needed help. kwwl's lauren moss speaking with us now live with the latest. amanda, the mother told me the young woman not only asked her son personal questions.. ...but lied to the bus driver saying she was his sister and she needed to take him with her. but, luckily, the boy spoke up...saying he had never met this woman before. and, that's when the bus driver called police, saying something just wasn't right.

approached the young boy, who was alone, waiting for his school bus ..just down the street from his waterloo home. when the school bus arrived.. the driver and monitor saw a woman talking to the boy. police say the woman was hallucinating- saying she thought the boy was her relative..that he was in trouble..hurt..and needed her help......but that was not the case at all... as you can angie gilbert-mother "my son made it on the bus. me really scared because what happens next time you know what if that child decides to go with that person.." police say the woman who allegedly tried to take the boy is in the hospital tonight going through mental evaluation. i spoke with chief dan trelka who says they are still investigating this situation. but because the woman told police she was worried that the boy was

charge her with anything at this time. and that's frustrating for angie. she says she's not upset with the waterloo police ...but she's upset with the law..and the fact that this woman will not be in trouble after lying and almost taking her son. i'm working on that story, for tonight at 6. we've got you covered, lauren moss ...kwwl news. police say the woman remains in the hospital tonight. we spoke with tara thomas of waterloo schools she says, the bus driver and monitor did the indicated there is no threat to the community. vandals hit the university of iowa...and they apparently hit with racist messages. now it's being looked at as a hate crime by the university police department. university president bruce harreld notified students last night. kwwl's kristin rogers spent the day at the university talking with students who are upset this happened on their campus.

and understandably so. university police tell me it all started when a concerned staff member called to report the vandilism... the university won't tell us what was said...but it was found carved on the inside of a bathroom door in spence laboratories. university police tell me as soon as they were notified by that staff member they sent maintence to sand off the comment as well as officers to investigate. (cg: uzair ahmed/ student) "i think with what the stand for thit type of negativity around campus and i think it shows this is not what the school is about this is not what the school represents." since the situation is being investigated as a hate crime i'm told charges could be pursued once the person behind it all is found. students made it very clear to me this is not something they stand for and it is not welcome on their campus.

were happy to share their opinions on the vandilism and how it was handled. we've got you covered live in iowa city, kristin rogers ...kwwl news. the university police say tips from the public are important for their investigation. contact university of iowa police if you have any information. senator chuck grassley is trying to crack down on a prescription price hike... he and democratic senator ron wyden from oregon announced the results of an eight-month congressional investigation into the pricing of a hepatitis c drug "sovaldi" they found the company upped the price of the drug - which costs a thousand dollars a pill - to maximize revenue. united states senator joni ernst retires from the iowa national guard... ernst served in the iowa national guard for the last 23 years. she announced earlier this year that she planned to retire to ernst served as lietuenant colonel - and served in the middle east
