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
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.
lol u talk all this shit but dont even know why theyre named and not just emergency alerts. donna norris fought for tougher laws against sex offenders and introduced the “Amber Hagerman Child Protection Act” so authorities could quickly post information relating to the missing child. tbh its so easy to google why they named it the amber alert but of course u gotta talk ur dumb shit lol
Once the police brought my little brother back home. He was 5. Apparently he was found walking to my cousin's house. They live 10 blocks away. There was no alert because we had no idea he was gone.
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.
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😢
It was really sad what happened to Athena , and all the houses from wise county we put pink ribbon to honor her ,we even wear pink , days later because her mom, wham to every one remember her on specific day to wear pink because it was Athena fav color rip little angel
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 👍🏽
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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 😢🙏
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.

@@julialowrance715 This is a great law because as you said, every minute counts. It allows police to engage the public anytime they think it would help. Amber alerts require identifiable information including the identity of the kidnapper and details of the vehicle they're in. This is much better.

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

Amber hagerman watching this video: bro, really?
Amber alerts aren't always sent out statewide. Sometimes they get issued for a more local area, not just statewide 24/7.
Lower threshold means lower certainty and higher risk of vigilante or overly aggressive pig action against an innocent party.
This is AWESOME! Too bad it’s needed 💔

Yea..

She was found by the creek her mother Donna was worried about her then her mother was very depressed
AMBRR ALERT
Im pretty sure thats in Oklahoma now
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
does Waco have intense pedophile activity ?
Its also in tennesseee
can’t the amber alert be used for just one county and not state wide?
And just to check, we can turn these off like we do with Amber alerts, right?
That’s a good idea
Actually it's a terrible idea. People already ignore amber alerts the way it is.
