A teacher at the primary school where a 6-year-old girl was wrenched from her mother’s hands as she dropped her off has been arrested in connection with the kidnapping that stoked so much attention in South Africa.

After a 19-hour ordeal, 6-year-old Amy-Lee de Jager, the daughter of a speedboat star, was dropped off in the streets, unharmed, after the story of her kidnap went viral and made her “too hot to handle.”
