Re: Amber Alert
This is a tough one because as a mother, I cannot imagine losing my DD to foster care. I feel like I would do ANYTHING to be with her as well.
But this woman is reportedly mentally unstable and has a history of abuse they said.
Ugh, so sad all around.

Re: Amber Alert
Did anyone else's phone ring at 5:15AM this morning with the Amber Alert notification call? I like to receive the notifications but given this happened yesterday they could have waited until 7:00am to put out the phone calls......

If it was your family member would you want them to wait?
Can you opt out of the alerts?

If it were YOUR child, wouldn't you want this alert going out several times and not care WHAT time it was?
And why would anyone want to "opt out" of an Amber Alert?????
So sad. I feel as a mom that I too would do anything to get my child back. I feel bad for all involved and hope that both mom and her daughter are found safe.

I only suggested that because she didn't like it going off so early.
I don't them to my phone. Not sure why...but I've never received one.
I saw it on FB 1st thing this morning.

I saw this on the LIE too and saw the article. I work with the DD population so I get state alerts for any developmentally disabled person if they go missing. So sad. We also get the alerts when they are found. If I get anything I will post it!

Seriously? When your phone rings at 5AM it doesn't freak you out. Unless the missing child was hiding out in your house, I doubt most people could do much about it at 5:00AM. I could barely comprehend the call as I was half asleep, but I still listened because I do care.
The girl was taken yesterday AFTERNOON, so a more appropriate time would have been last night for urgency. If it were my child as you pointed out, that is when I would want the call.
I have chosen to 'opt in' and register for these alerts and have it set to both my email and home phone. I won't change it because I want to be informed, I was just stating that 5 AM was an odd time.

Re: Amber Alert
Glad she was found.
I don't know anything about these Amber Alerts and I've never received one. Is this something that you sign up for?
eta- I know what Amber Alerts are and I've seen them on the highway signs and news. I've never seen one on my cell phone though.

Oh never mind about her being found. I quickly scrolled down without reading carefully and thought I saw two people say "she's found safe". It was actually just prayers that she is found safe. Disregard.

I am sure that my opinion is unpopular but I could do without amber alerts for custody battle type stuff, unless there's an honest fear of real physical danger.
