Sam Thompson, Somer Thompson's Father, Urges Parents To Protect Their Kids

Graham, NC - Nearly two years after a seven-year-old girl is abducted and killed, her father is sharing her story again to help other parents protect their kids.

A study by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children found children are most at risk for abduction when they're on the way to or from school or school-related activities.

So just as students return to school in the Triad, Sam Thompson, who lives in Alamance County, wanted to share his message with them.

Trial delayed for Jarred Harrell

His trial on the child molestation charges was schedule to start in two weeks, but on Tuesday, a Clay County judge granted a defense request for more time to prepare for that trial. It was pushed back to May 7.

Harrell's next pretrial hearing is set for March 12. A date for his murder trial has not been set.

Diena Thompson, Somer's mother, said at her Orange Park home Tuesday afternoon that she's frustrated by the court proceedings, but she's willing to seek justice for her daughter, who was kidnapped while walking home from school and later found dead in a landfill.

"I'm definitely frustrated that it gets pushed back, but if it's going to make justice happen and make it more profound, then that's exactly what I want to do," Thompson said of having to wait for Harrell's trial.

Diena Thompson, mother of Somer Thompson, claps after Sen. Rob Bradley, R-Fleming Island, and Sen. Lizbeth Benacquisto, R-Wellington spoke, in the Senate on Tuesday, March 4, 2014, in Tallahassee, Fla. Somer was walking home from school Oct. 19, 2009, in Orange Park when the seven-year-old was abducted, raped and murdered. Her body was later discovered in a Georgia landfill. Four bills passed unanimously Tuesday that are designed to tighten loopholes in a law that allows the state to civilly commit the most dangerous sexual offenders once they've finished their prison terms.
