why does the amber alert website and the missing and exploited children amber alert site have NOTHING about this?

She doesn't meet the amber Alert requirements. No one saw her abducted which is a requirement for Amber Alert I'm told.

ok, then why did broakley call it an amber alert. It really is ridiculous that there are any criteria other than a child is missing!! Ridiculous! no one saw who took polly klass either but most agree she may have been saved with an amber alert!

Broakley doesn't have to follow the Amber Alert Criteria. If a child is missing I am going to Post about it and pray for a safe return home.

Here are the criteria for issuing AMBER Alerts?

•Law enforcement must confirm that an abduction has taken place
•The child is at risk of serious injury or death
•There is sufficient descriptive information of child, captor, or captor's vehicle to issue an alert
•The child must be 17 years old or younger

There was no witness for the description of the captor so she didn't qualify for a Amber Alert.

Hopefully my Amber Alert gets to more people.

Yes, I found it surprising that they did not issue an Amber Alert. Then I thought about it, and I guess they want Amber Alerts to be for only proven, or nearly proven abductions. Great Idea to get the word out via computer.

A child is missing. That is all I need to know to be concerned!

Thank you for your posting on this sweet precious child. I will pray for her safe return.

Let us hope tomorrow brings little Sandra home. I cannot imagine the heartbreak ripping through her family right now. God Bless them dearly tonight.
