You are aware, despite the tragic ending, that the abductor was captured within 4 hours with this system being a substantial reason why?

I don't think 4 hours is accurate but the Amber Alert definitely helped...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the point of the system is to protect the child, not necessarily catch the perp. Time is of the the essence and waiting two damn hours when there were witnesses who saw the guy grab the girl off the street is unacceptable.

Any news on the "why" part of this? Other than the man being mentally deranged, was it as random as they reported? Wow, just so sad!

The afternoon on fox 4 local they questioned the response time for alerts. They said a study reveal the average time it takes to issue the alert is just over 4 hours.
They went on to state that the window of opportunity to save from bad happening is on average 1-3 hours per a national study. So yes I would say the amber alert system needs some major overhauling. Last edited by srvy; 02-20-2014 at 06:48 PM.. |

Dude one of the sites members has already came on here and said it was his niece. Tasteless.

Unfortunately it's true, she used to be anyway...she cleaned up a few years ago. Hailey is actually my niece by marriage, her mom is my ex wife's step sister. I still consider her my niece though and she didn't know any differently.

That is unfortunate, but I felt the comment had no place in this thread. I hope you and all else who knew her are holding up as best as possible.

This thread is a major inconvenience for me.
Stop it.

It's probably helping things to quote it over and over.

Oh I agree, it was very tasteless but nothing really surprises me here. I'm actually quite surprised there haven't been any stupid puns yet. Her mom is doing a lot better, but I think she's still in shock. My boys know she's in heaven and are happy for her but my 13 year old daughter is taking it pretty hard.

I guess the Westboro scum are coming to picket Hailey's vigil and funeral. Apparently God did this because of Mizzou's acceptance of Michael Sam.
