So just moments ago,both my phones go off issuing an Amber Alert. Now all it gives is the vehicle Make,model,and licence plate number. No details. None at all.
Why, should I contact "authorities" if I happen to see this vehicle? I don't know the situation. Perhaps if they give more details, I'd be more inclined to let someone know. Or not. For as far as I know this could just be one of those phony ass parental kidnappings", which really aren't kidnappings at all in my book. More like a family issue. Therefore none of my business to interfere with. And from personal recollection, %98 of the Amber Alerts I can recall have been one parent calling the cops on the other. Kinda hard for me to want to get involved. They really need a different alert system for actual kidnappings before they get some poor kid killed. Its totally irresponsible of the folks in charge of this system to endanger a kid like this.
What say you?
