You'd think a kid getting grabbed off the street would be the only guideline they needed. If it's going to take that long to meet the criteria for an alert then they may as well do away with the system entirely. That's ****ing absurd.

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.

I get what you are saying and I would give everything if the system assisted in the recovery of this little girl safe and sound, however the reality is that it does sometimes and it does not in others. That being said, capturing the perp keeps him off the street and unable to do it again which saves countless other lives.

I wouldn't be shocked if others claimed abuse after his face is out there and he's on trial...

Point is the system works, but like anything else, it is not perfect nor can ever be. |

I'd like to say I could help but I'm sure he won't stay in-state...
