i'll join you again in a few minutes if we get more warnings. > back to you. thanks very much, sue. su two fairfax county a 16 year ola girl what goes assaulted this t morning as we walked to school along a path in already den. it's the same path that some so parents have been complainingha about fover month. they've been telling fairfaxee countyn officials they didn't di think the path was save and wanted permission to use thee bus, a request that was denied.i paul wagner joins us life with the story. >>reporter: this is the path that basically is basically a bs controversial i path i shouldpah say that i'm standing on right now. over here is silverbrook road and down this way is a road called monday can. we're not far from south county middle school and south county high school. the question right now is wheree exactly did this assault occur this morning? there's somehere question as to whether or not it occurred where i'm standing or whether it occurred over there h by those ten is
5:02 pm
path that leads out to silverbrook road.si what we do know according to police, this girl who is 16 years old at about 7:45 was was grabbed from behind by a a hispanic male who ran off when f she screamed. where i'm standing this h is the path that has become bec controversial. there is some parents who live just on the other side of this wooded area that don't want don their kids to walk down this thi path and they want their kids to be able to take the bus.us. up until now, fairfax countyrf schools has said, no. no. jennifer lopez is livid. since last fall she and her mother have been telling fairfax county school officials and school board members that thehat path their children have to take is not save and they haven't the whatted a waiver that would allow their daughter to take the bus. the family lives within 1.5-milm circle that dictates who must ms walk and to gets to ride thehe
5:03 pm
and so the path is the most direct way to get to the school. it leads from the subdivisionhe through a wooded area to a balll field and tennis courts before coming out on a monday can road or depending on how you walk, silverbrook road. they had school officials come f out last fall and walk the path with them early in the morning so they could see it for themes. but lopez says the officials told her and her mother nothing bad had happened on the path and the pa was safe. that was until this morning. they said, ma'am, it's save i because nothing has happened. ha and that was their quote. >> that is in an e-mail here that it seems safe becausefe nothing has happened.ha so there is multiple e-mails where she has said to them, your policy of "safe"is safe because nothing has happened is not an n acceptable policy when iten i involves the safety of our children. and that is a direct quote from the e-mails. today was a proven point that our concerns were
5:04 pm
and it was only a matter of tim until this was going to happen. > just a couple of minutes ago i got off the phone with fairfax county school spokesperson joe p story i.stor he told me that because of what happened here this morning theyh are going to come back out here. they are going to look at thesea trails and they're going to storm whether or not this is a save or unsafe area and they say they may be able to give extensions, or i should say exceptions to students who wanto to take the bus and not walk down this path. so more to come on this story. life in already den, paul wagner, fox5 local news. > metro's safe track program is is getting someaf attention from the district homeland security agency. as metro embarks on a year's worth of repairs that will impact service emergency officials tell fox5 an evacuation crisis could erupt ip the city doesn't adjust its current plans to move people pe
