AMBER
The way technology has evolved along with all the incredible things people have been able to invent, truly helps people in these scenarios do their jobs more efficiently. During 1996, a system called AMBER was created specifically for missing children. AMBER (America’s Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response) was put into place to alert law authorities that a child has been abducted and is in danger. Derails include physical descriptions of both the abductor and the person who was abducted. Further information about the abductor’s vehicle can also be provided. This is a huge help when it comes to finding kidnapped children.
Alert System
The reason why this amazing system was invented was to honor a 9-year old girl, Amber Hagerman. She was abducted in Texas and was then later killed by the person who had kidnapped her. Since then, all 50 states across the USA have the AMBER alert system in place. This system has helped locate and safely recover over 985 children that were abducted. And still today they continue to be a huge asset to law authorities.
