I have been told by editor that law enforcement prefers pics.

And I was bad, I did not use the pic on an alert. I need to learn how to embed them in constant contact messages.

Suffice it to say not even amber alerts for me here anymore. Now, let me go get that story from the paper and put it on FB

As we all learned with the Hannah Anderson story, wider distribution is not a bad idea.

As the parent of a 2 year old boy myself, this one hit way too close to home.

Amazingly, his own family formed a search party and located him. Apparently, he was stolen right out of the back of his mother's car. Unbelievable.
