[Summary] =>
The parents of the preschool children Armando Ducat had taken hostage Wednesday will not file charges against him.
Ducat, said by some to be a quiet, respected businessman, held 26 children and four teachers hostage in a school bus.
For this caper, police have filed charges of serious illegal detention and illegal possession of firearms and explosives against Ducat, a 56-year-old civil engineer. They are also mulling whether to charge Ducat with violating anti-terrorism and anti-child abuse laws.
