If you can’t find the child; then, how long before an AMBER ALERT goes out? Bad idea! When a child is abducted, minutes count. Sometimes a child can be missing for hours before it’s reported because the parents think they are at school, or at a friends. Cars can travel 75 miles (or more) in 1 hour. If your guess is wrong then that child is gone (sometimes out of State) before the cops get out of their squad cars!
I mean, I can definitely see the need to announce a child that has gone wandering out. But how would they know it isn't an abduction/the child has wandered off but has now been abducted? How much time between filing a report like this and the feasibility of the child still having just wandered off? All genuine questions, I just really don't see the major benefits above the Amber alert if it's on such a small scale that could do little or possibly even some harm
Like he explained, for an amber alert an abduction has to have knowingly taken place and a description of a vehicle or person has to be made available. This makes it a lot easier to get a alert out when a kid is missing and they don't know the circumstances. I agree this is going to harm amber alerts cause now every imbecile who's kid breaks curfew or for whatever non legitimate reason will be using this leading to people ignoring all alerts more than they already do.
State wide is not better in states like Texas, I once got one three nights in a row at 2am… for Amarillo, Dallas, and Lubbock. I was in McAllen. 12.5 hours away… as a result most Texans disable them as soon as we get a new phone. So it hurts more than it helps to have statewide
OK so now we have an amber alert Athena alert Ebony alert If we keep adding these alerts gonna cause confusion because it’ll just be going off all the time
It's exactly the same system. For an Amber alert you have to know who took the child and what vehicle they're in. This law simply allows police to use the system anytime they feel it would be beneficial to help a child. They didn't know who took Athena Strand but they did know a lot about the vehicle he was in. Unfortunately that wasn't enough to meet the criteria.
That’s actually really useful because in local communities at least ONE person will know and recognize that name or last name of who’s missing and actually start spreading by word of mouth, and also when people see an amber alert they usually ignore it. Working as a community usually brings the best results, good sht Texas 👍🏽
Dude I remember on the way to Texas to visit some family friends of ours I got this chilling amber alert that was actually for Athena saying she was kidnapped around the area we were driving through…that poor baby glad she has her own alert to help more kids😢
Alabama needs to have something like this. I get Amber alerts all the time and they're like in Birmingham I'm in Baldwin county it's like 5 hours away.
Not all of us, the UK has a god awful response to missing people and absolutely no system in place for emergency alerts (unless the queen dies that is). Missing people are just shown on the news which a dwindling number of people actually watch means isn’t so useful.
This started from 1996 A GIRL NAMED AMBER HAGERMAN HER LAST BIRTHDAY WAS 9 YEARS SHE WAS KIDNAPPED SHE WAS LAST SEEN BUT A FAMILY SAW HER AT 1996 HER BROTHER ONLY CAM HOME
The Athena Alert is named for Athena Strand who was kidnapped by a FedEx driver from her father's yard. They knew the vehicle but not the identity of the driver so they couldn't issue the Amber alert.
Honestly in my opinion it’s a bad idea first of all amber should be sent out to the surrounding states and they child would probably be long outside of the community
Every year as me being a kid I always go threw a phase ware wen an amber alert goes off on my phone i get kind of scared and uncumfertuble thinking that can be me some day and I am sure a lot of kids like me get like that so I would recemend for some of you to turn it of on setings
@@bradsanders407 because god forbid paranoia is stupid and selfish, kids get scared by stuff like that, so it would make sense for a kid to be able to turn it off while adults can keep it on because they can actually handle that stuff, and even search for the victim if they want to
When was the last time that anyone actually paid attention to an amver alert? This wont be any different. If you really care about this we should push to make our communities more tightly nit
The childs name is Amber Hangerman that was missing in Texas in 8 minutes the police finds Ambers body in a creek and she's dead his little brother name Rikki he feels guilty of his older sister went missing the only memory of Amber Hangerman is her pink bike and her killer have not been arrested yet antil this day Rest in peace Amber 😢🙏
Alarm tiers are a good idea seeing that most missing children just wandered off and most child abductions are fathers who lost the custody battle taking things into their own hands.
Or mothers trying to flee the state before the custody hearing That happened to my uncle His ex was going to take the kids to a different state and he would not be able to go after them because once they start residence in a new state, he lost his right to parental I still have to pay child support So he took her to court to make sure that she doesn’t take the kids away from him Actually, in recent years, it’s been more likely for a woman to abduct a child usually because she recently lost custody, or is fearing that she will lose custody Like last year there was like three or four different kids abducted by their mom during the Christmas time
For an Amber alert you have to know exactly who took them and what vehicle they're in. It's almost always one of the child's parents. The Athena alert allows to the police to use their discretion even if they don't know how the kidnapper is.
They should use Athena alerts from now on and get rid of Amber alerts. Distance based rather than state based makes so much more sense. It might help prevent people from turning off emergency alerts altogether.
Most people are gonna steal ignore the alerts because we keep on adding new alerts because now we have amber alert, Athena alert, and Ebony alert what’s next Asian alert or something Like Athena alert sounds like a good idea because it will distinguish the difference between parental custody issues, an actual abductors But at this rate, we’re gonna have like a list of 10 different alerts in the next few years
Amber alerts are only for when they know the kidnapper's identity and the vehicle they're in. Since they're know to be driving it needs to be at least state wide although there is national coordination for cases when they suspect someone intends to leave the state.
About half a million children go missing every years in the US. That's over a thousand a day. The scale of the problem far exceeds our ability to help.
@@Suusleepy It's not a little effort, it's a herculean effort. Every 40 seconds a child goes missing. It's thousands of kids a day. No one knows how to solve this problem. It's really hard.

Yes and gives abductors how many miles away they need to be to not get caught right away

As a person that lives in Texas this alert will most likely go off every 23.5 seconds
Most of them will be in Waco
Rip Amber Hangerman because of you the amber alert saved many lives🕊
I was born in Arlington where Amber lived and was kidnapped. I was shocked to know that this happened only a few blocks away from where I used to live
It should stay as an Amber alert wtf State Wide is better Way more eyes 👀
dont worry, the AMBER alert was signed into a law or something like that so all 50 states will forever have the AMBER alert!
State wide is not better in states like Texas, I once got one three nights in a row at 2am… for Amarillo, Dallas, and Lubbock. I was in McAllen. 12.5 hours away… as a result most Texans disable them as soon as we get a new phone. So it hurts more than it helps to have statewide
I hope they find her😢
….she died like a year or two ago…she didn’t make it😢
They found her, she died😭
This only creates confusion and waters down AMBER.
OK so now we have an amber alert
Athena alert
Ebony alert

Jesus Christ. This is why all alerts are blocked on my phone. Y’all spam everyone with alerts every hour and a half with shit nowhere near anybody.
And now they want to localize them because people are doing exactly what you just said.
Yea I’m not sure why the amber alert is statewide. Considering it started here in Texas you would think there would be a limit.
Amber alerts are only for when they know the kidnapper's identity and the vehicle they're in. Since they're know to be driving it needs to be at least state wide although there is national coordination for cases when they suspect someone intends to leave the state.
Great another alert system people will no doubt ignore or worse call in to complain about clogging up the phone lines
Children are rescued all the time due to Amber alerts. Don't confuse your indifference with everyone's indifference.
There is zero reason to not give an alert any time a child is considered missing, or when ANYONE is considered missing
