Amber Alert

Amber Alert issued for two boys

Amber Alert stories are always important. Their important for the community because they raise awareness. People in the same community will be watching the news and will see these faces. If they see the children or the suspected kidnappers or they van they may recognize them from the news and call police.

So these stories help bring children back to their homes and break kidnappers to justice. They also bring hope to the parents of these children that they're kids can be found. Because the more people in the community that knows their faces the more likely they can be found.

This is a nationwide alert though, not just local. Which is also important for situations where the kidnappers could be anywhere. Which in this case, I guess there's no way of knowing. Which is why it's national news, these guys could be anywhere.

I don't really know how many kidnappings happen in the US. But I wonder if news stations would be able to fit them all in their budget. They probably have to choose between the biggest ones, like this, the guys could be anywhere. Because they don't want to choose the ones where the kid could have just wandered across the street.
