Amber Alert

The Alert was named after Amber Hagerman

In 1996, 9-year old Amber Hagerman disappeared from her Arlington, Texas neighborhood while riding her bicycle. A neighbor was able to give some details of the car involved, but no system was in place to get that information to local residents quickly. Tragically, Amber's body was found four days later.
The Amber Alert enables Law Enforcement to use Television Stations and radio stations to get the word out quickly. The more people looking for a child, the better.

    I'm a songwriter & I'm trying to get a record company to work with me to distribute the song. I want to donate 100% of the proceeds to the Amber Alert System. Is there a place that handles the money for all 50 states? I'd like to make sure that all 50 states can benefit. I also want to encourage established artists to do the same - donate all of the proceeds from one song to charity, and hopefully others will pick this one...

The grandmother noticed the back door to her home was open, and couldn't locate her 2-year-old grandchild. When she couldn't get in touch with other family members about the child's disappearance, she notified the local police. The Florida Amber Plan was activated, using the Tone alert.
A friend of the family heard the alert and contacted the child's father. The father contacted the grandmother to let her know the child was with him and in perfect health.

February 12, 2002 - Lake County, Florida
Father forcibly abducted his two children from Lake County (attempting to get back at the mother) and threatened to do harm to the children. Father was tracked by cell phone usage to Okaloosa County the next day.
