No way someone said that?

@@Mick8393 literally hundreds of calls all with the same sentiment. So many in fact it broke the call routing system and starting sending people to random departments.

@@bobowon5450 that's so fucked- to put a tv show over a life or death situation

@@Mick8393 the worst part is. if they had only read the amber alert they would have seen that they only needed to press the ok button on their remote to remove the message

uhm.

yep me too. I live in Texas. Since you live in Texas, you excited for the full solar eclipse?

Me too, can confirm, and I am excited for the solar eclipse

lol u talk all this shit but dont even know why theyre named and not just emergency alerts. donna norris fought for tougher laws against sex offenders and introduced the “Amber Hagerman Child Protection Act” so authorities could quickly post information relating to the missing child. tbh its so easy to google why they named it the amber alert but of course u gotta talk ur dumb shit lol

They need to be updated

Lmao

Like he explained, for an amber alert an abduction has to have knowingly taken place and a description of a vehicle or person has to be made available. This makes it a lot easier to get a alert out when a kid is missing and they don't know the circumstances. I agree this is going to harm amber alerts cause now every imbecile who's kid breaks curfew or for whatever non legitimate reason will be using this leading to people ignoring all alerts more than they already do.

dont worry, the AMBER alert was signed into a law or something like that so all 50 states will forever have the AMBER alert!

State wide is not better in states like Texas, I once got one three nights in a row at 2am… for Amarillo, Dallas, and Lubbock. I was in McAllen. 12.5 hours away… as a result most Texans disable them as soon as we get a new phone. So it hurts more than it helps to have statewide

….she died like a year or two ago…she didn’t make it😢

They found her, she died😭

OK so now we have an amber alert Athena alert Ebony alert If we keep adding these alerts gonna cause confusion because it’ll just be going off all the time

It's exactly the same system. For an Amber alert you have to know who took the child and what vehicle they're in. This law simply allows police to use the system anytime they feel it would be beneficial to help a child. They didn't know who took Athena Strand but they did know a lot about the vehicle he was in. Unfortunately that wasn't enough to meet the criteria.

Actually it's worse. People already ignore amber alerts. This will compound that.

@@bradsanders407 Amber alerts help track down missing children all the time. You ignore them but the public doesn't.

Actually it's a terrible idea. People already ignore amber alerts the way it is.

My uncle Dave has her/j

Europe had like a 1500 yr head start. still somehow have Kings and queens 😂

Not all of us, the UK has a god awful response to missing people and absolutely no system in place for emergency alerts (unless the queen dies that is). Missing people are just shown on the news which a dwindling number of people actually watch means isn’t so useful.

The Athena Alert is named for Athena Strand who was kidnapped by a FedEx driver from her father's yard. They knew the vehicle but not the identity of the driver so they couldn't issue the Amber alert.

Really? No way!! Are you sure?!?!?! Man just the other day someone told me red and yellow are both colors now this!?! Mind freaking blown

Huh?

Athena Strand

The childs name is Amber Hangerman that was missing in Texas in 8 minutes the police finds Ambers body in a creek and she's dead his little brother name Rikki he feels guilty of his older sister went missing the only memory of Amber Hangerman is her pink bike and her killer have not been arrested yet antil this day Rest in peace Amber 😢🙏

That has to be one of the stupidest and most selfish comments I've read in a long time.

@@bradsanders407 because god forbid paranoia is stupid and selfish, kids get scared by stuff like that, so it would make sense for a kid to be able to turn it off while adults can keep it on because they can actually handle that stuff, and even search for the victim if they want to

What? So you want more alerts cause amber alerts "annoy" you? What if you were the one who was abducted or your kid. How annoying would it be then?

@@bradsanders407 no it SCARES me. It annoys me bc it scares me.

@TSGA..1 yeah... I don't.. yeah.

@@bradsanders407 and I have Abductophobia so quit 💀

So creepy behind amber’s story

Or mothers trying to flee the state before the custody hearing That happened to my uncle His ex was going to take the kids to a different state and he would not be able to go after them because once they start residence in a new state, he lost his right to parental I still have to pay child support So he took her to court to make sure that she doesn’t take the kids away from him Actually, in recent years, it’s been more likely for a woman to abduct a child usually because she recently lost custody, or is fearing that she will lose custody Like last year there was like three or four different kids abducted by their mom during the Christmas time

For an Amber alert you have to know exactly who took them and what vehicle they're in. It's almost always one of the child's parents. The Athena alert allows to the police to use their discretion even if they don't know how the kidnapper is.

Bad person

​@@Botaccount694Sorry that your missing children are not my responsibility. Next time look after them.

@@quokka_ytbro..

@@quokka_ytgoofy aww edgy statement 💀

Most people are gonna steal ignore the alerts because we keep on adding new alerts because now we have amber alert, Athena alert, and Ebony alert what’s next Asian alert or something Like Athena alert sounds like a good idea because it will distinguish the difference between parental custody issues, an actual abductors But at this rate, we’re gonna have like a list of 10 different alerts in the next few years

And now they want to localize them because people are doing exactly what you just said.

Amber alerts are only for when they know the kidnapper's identity and the vehicle they're in. Since they're know to be driving it needs to be at least state wide although there is national coordination for cases when they suspect someone intends to leave the state.

Children are rescued all the time due to Amber alerts. Don't confuse your indifference with everyone's indifference.

About half a million children go missing every years in the US. That's over a thousand a day. The scale of the problem far exceeds our ability to help.

@@abebuckingham8198 Bullshit, that implies what little effort it would take outweighs the cost of actual children and their lives

@@Suusleepy It's not a little effort, it's a herculean effort. Every 40 seconds a child goes missing. It's thousands of kids a day. No one knows how to solve this problem. It's really hard.

@abebuckingham8198 Do you think I want a search party every time Any kid Anywhere goes missing? I'm talking about a notif or something within the city or area man, the amount of Good just a description of the missing person, supposed kidnapper, or Any leads would do far outweighs the MINIMAL effort required of typing out "Someone matching that description was seen in XYZ car at ABC time"

That’s why people like you should stay in school

dog really? 💀

This is a terrible law. Everyone knows how important every minute is when they're first missing‼️ HOW COULD ANYONE MAKE THIS CALL? 😢

@@julialowrance715 This is a great law because as you said, every minute counts. It allows police to engage the public anytime they think it would help. Amber alerts require identifiable information including the identity of the kidnapper and details of the vehicle they're in. This is much better.
