May I recommend that you sign up for Wireless AMBER Alerts. In the United States, the major wireless carriers have made this service available FREE to consumers.

AMBER stands for “America’s Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response.” Essentially, a state-wide alert is issued when an abducted child, age 17 years or younger, is reported to a local law enforcement agency. By quickly distributing information to the public, citizens may be able to report critical information to local law enforcement.

Simply visit:

… and you’ll be directed to the appropriate registration form for your mobile phone provider. You

I’ve also provided some alternate instructions to sign up by text message or to register for email alerts:

Please consider doing this and tell a parent/friend.

Thank you.
