The man told police that his son left his backpack in the car after he was dropped off at Wattles Park Elementary School Sept. 27.   After he yelled for his son, a 9-year-old girl reported that he had tried to get her to come to his truck.  The man came in voluntarily for a police interview after his truck was identified in surveillance video.
