This Month's Important Safety Alert:
~~The Amber Alert Ticker~~
What is the Amber Alert Ticker?
For those of you who have never seen one of these tickers, it broadcasts information pertaining to child abductions. You could save a child's life by displaying one of these tickers on your sites. It is a small java script code that can be placed in your HTML in your website. It is very easily added. To get a FREE ticker, go to CodeAmber.org.
What is an Amber Alert?
As stated on the website:
Each program establishes its own AMBER Plan criteria; however, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children suggests three criteria that should be met before an Alert is activated.
-
law enforcement confirms a child has been abducted
-
law enforcement believes the circumstances surrounding the abduction indicate that the child is in danger of serious bodily harm or death
-
there is enough descriptive information about the child, abductor, and/or suspect’s vehicle to believe an immediate broadcast alert will help
If these criteria are met, alert information must be put together for public distribution. This information can include descriptions and pictures of the missing child, the suspected abductor, a suspected vehicle, and any other information available and valuable to identifying the child and suspect.
