Like I said, do it on cf-community. If anyone wants to get the amber alerts they can subscribe there, I get enough mail as it is, I don't need to be getting amber alerts for kids in CA when I live in FL.

As a new parent, a developer, and a subscriber to this list, I think it is a good idea. Just one post and maybe a link to the child's picture. As Isaac said, they can and do go across the country. What if you are alerted on this list one day, take note, and that same day, you go out to grab a bite for lunch and lo and behold, you see this abducted child? Yes, it may be a 1 in 100000+ chance but it's still a chance. I say post it. Thanks, Big T -----Original Message----- From: S.

You have a valid opinion. The only comment I would make ( and I don't say this to argue with you or invalidate your opinion ) is that afaik the police and so forth who are looking for the missing child may not know where that child is. Sure, the child may have lived in CA, but kidnappers have been known ( though it may not be the most common behavior ) to drive all the way accross the country with their victims... or given circumstances, to Canada or Mexico, maybe even get a flight overseas. Who's to say where they'll go, though I will admit I'd expect the odds to be slim that they'd find their way out of nearby or neighboring states.
