[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There have been several threads recently about missing kids in DC. The thing is, they don't stay missing, they are all found.

[b]We care, we appreciate the Amber alerts and look for them.[/b] Then find them. Your outrage is misplaced, Lap.[/quote]

Really? Did you get an Amber Alert this morning for this girl? I didn't. [/quote]

You need to look up the criteria for Amber Alert.  Every missing child doesn't meet the criteria.  The child has to be in imminent danger AND law enforcement has to have descriptive information about the abductor (among other things). If they don't have information about the person who might have abducted the child, they cannot issue an Amber Alert.[/quote]

I know what the criteria for an Amber Alert is. I was responding directly to the highlighted portion of the PP, in which that PP stated that they appreciated the Amber Alerts and used that information to look for the child in question. If Critical Missing Persons reports went out the same way Amber Alerts went out, I'd believe that the PP knew about this girl and the other dozen children who have gone missing in the last couple of weeks. Since they do not, I will assume that the PP was downplaying the issue, which I think is supported by stating that the children are all found, which is not true.[/quote]

I am the originally quoted PP. Yes, I am downplaying the issue. Have you heard the story of the boy who cried wolf? I think you should read it.[/quote]
