The AMBER Alert and Asheboro, N.C.

The Amber Alert system is a government program which alerts citizens to a missing child. These alerts can be sent by radio stations, television, or through lottery terminals. It is an effort to keep citizens informed of a criminally abducted child, and to encourage them to assist the search. This is done to ensure that the child is found in a timely manner.

The AMBER Alert is a part of a larger set of programs designed to protect children. These include the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), the National Center for Missing and Exploited Girls (NCMEG), and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Boys (NCMEG). In addition to these, the North Carolina Child Alert Notification System was also launched in 2002, aimed at quickly disseminating information on abducted children. Asheboro police issued an Amber Alert on Sunday in the hopes that it would lead to the return of two children that were abducted from the family’s home.

While the Amber Alert is a step up from the usual weather alerts, it’s not a miracle worker. According to the NCPD, the program is only as good as its technology. If it is used properly, it should be able to send out a message in a timely fashion to citizens in need of assistance.

According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Child, there have been more than one hundred and fourteen cases of kidnapping in the state of North Carolina. To date, there have been more than a thousand child recoveries, the most notable being Amber Hagerman, who was abducted from Arlington, Texas, in 1996. Almost 16 years later, her remains were discovered in a creek near her home.

Asheboro, N.C. police issued an Amber Alert on Sunday afternoon. Three individuals wearing black hoodies were the subjects of the alert. Two children were identified as Londyn Williams and Deshawn Williams, while the third person was Haley Sue Harrah. A meeting was planned with the children’s father, Deshawn Devone Williams, and the mother, Londyn Renee Williams. There have been no images of the children released by the police department.
