National Center
for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC)
recently reported that to date
the
AMBER Alert
program has been credited with the
successful recovery of 182 children!
One such success story:
January 5, 2004
Stafford,
Virginia
A 10-year-old girl was abducted by her uncle
from Baltimore, Maryland. When authorities learned that the suspect might have
been traveling in Northern Virginia, an AMBER Alert was issued in Maryland,
Washington, DC, and Virginia. Three motorists soon spotted the vehicle described
in the AMBER Alert and notified authorities. The suspect was apprehended and the
child was safely recovered.
