missing child alert

Youth disappearance notification

A missing child alert is an official broadcast warning that a child has disappeared and may be in danger.

These alerts are distributed through media, cell phones, and highway signs to enlist public help in locating the child quickly.

The most common type in the United States is the AMBER Alert, named for a child abduction victim.

A missing child alert went out for the six-year-old last seen near the park.
