Who reports an amber alert?
I was at the mall one time and i went to see a movie and i forgot to call my mom and she thought that some one grabbed me so she ALMOST sent out an amber alert. So the answer is that if the mom or dad or someone is positive that their child is missing they call the police and the police look around for the missing person then if they cant find you in a few hours then they call some one and that someone calls someone else then the amber alert goes on the news myspace the radio and the newspaper and anything else you can think of. Hopefully the missing person gets found. An amber alert is a serious thing and its not rite to take other peoples children. So if you are a kidnapper or just somone that wants to know the answer to that question you need to remember that it is totally totally horrible to grab a child or anyone. Thank you

What is the Amber alert?
The Amber Alert is an alert that goes out over the radio, television, and on most major freeway billboards when a child is reported missing in any given state. An Amber Alert is an immediate National Alert System that posts information concerning any child who is deemed (by the agency investigating the case) to be in imminent physical danger. An Amber Alert is broadcast over most major televisions stations, radio stations and is sent immediately to Law Enforcement Agencies, via NCIC. A description of the child is included, any known information about the child and/or the abductor (parent or non-parent) and the last known information concerning the case. There are certain criteria which MUST be met before an Amber Alert can be issued. This allows that when an Amber Alert is issued, it is taken very seriously by both law enforcement and the general public, including the media.

Amber Alerts are extremely useful and have assisted with the safe return of many children throughout the USA.

Even if your information turns out to be non-helpful, it is ALWAYS better to be overprotective than to do or say nothing.

Abductors should always be considered ARMED and DANGEROUS.
