The goal of an AMBER Alert is the safe recovery of a missing child that a law enforcement agency believes has been abducted and is in danger of serious harm or death. Missing adults, runaways, or children taken in child custody disputes usually do NOT qualify for an AMBER Alert activation. Contact local law enforcement immediately if your child is missing.  Only law enforcement can activate an AMBER Alert.

Do not think that help is not available just because your child may not qualify for an AMBER Alert.  Contact your local law enforcement agency with the following information.

		Name of the child missing and general information: height, weight, age, date of birth, eye and hair color, right or left handed, distinguishing marks or scars, etc.
		When and where did the abduction take place?
		All available suspect information: name, height, weight, build, eye and hair color, distinguishing marks or scars.
		Any suspect information on the means of travel, or direction of travel. Including vehicle descriptions.
		Photos of the missing child and of the abductor if possible.
