To all HCSS Community,
I have some unsettling news to share with you and a request for help.
One of our students, 11-year-old Charlotte Moccia, may have been abducted this afternoon on her way home from school.
Springfield Police have issued an Amber Alert and are asking for any information that could help them locate her.
She was last seen at about 1:30 p.m. on Lafayette Street. Police said she may have been forced into an older model, blue or dark-colored Honda sedan with dark-tinted windows at the intersection of Princeton and Amherst streets. The car also has a moonroof and distinctive aftermarket rims.
Charlotte is white, about 4-feet, 2-inches tall, weighs about 60 pounds and has long brown curly hair. She is believed to have been wearing a white jacket, khaki pants and a navy blue school shirt that has the school logo on it.
Police said that a White or Hispanic male may have forced Charlotte into the car driven by a White or light-skinned Hispanic female.
Anyone who has seen the car or has any information about the whereabouts of Charlotte should please call 911 immediately and share information with the police. Police said people can also “Text-a-Tip” anonymously.
Further information can be found on the State Police Facebook page (

Obviously, we are concerned for Charlotte’s safety and will keep you up-to-date with any further developments.
