Yeah the Police Chief in his 1st news conference said there state and fed guidelines they must meet before can issue the alert. They met those guidelines a little before 7 pm and alerts were sent out.

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...

Everything I read said the person who trailed him got his plate numbers. That lead cops to his dads house, who then told them the truck belonged to his son. They then showed up at his house. Not trying to bag on the Alerts, but it doesn't sound like they provided much help in this case. Posted via Mobile Device |

The Amber alert is why it was taken seriously and huge resources being poured into checking every lead...

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...
