You are probably familiar with what Amber Alerts are. If not, simply stated, the are alerts put out by public safety officials about missing children. It is widely believed that the first hours of a missing child, especially an abduction, are critical to the success of finding the missing child. These alerts are typically broadcast over the radio and streamed across TV signals, to alert as many people as possible.
Now, you may also get Amber Alerts for free on your mobile device, thanks to an initiative to take the idea to the next level. I encourage you to go to Wireless Amber Alerts and enter your mobile telephone number and subscribe to alerts in your area. You may be able to help save a missing child. It's a good thing, and the right thing, to do.
