Wireless Amber Alerts

Studies show the first three hours after a child is abducted are critical to the recovery of that child. Speed is essential in finding any missing person, but it's especially true when the person in question is a child forced to go with an adult.

www.WirelessAmberAlerts.org

utilizes the instantaneous and universality of cell phones with text message capability to send out the Amber Alerts. When a child is reported missing, after initial steps are taken where there is reasonable belief a child has, in fact, been kidnapped, this system sends text messages to all opt-in wireless subscribers in that area.

This is one of the true benefits of technology...and maybe it'll counteract the negative use of technology many child predators use to kidnap kids in the first place. Oh, and it's free...so you have no reason not to sign up.
