AMBER alerts for missing adults especially missing women?

[ShyGuyInChicago]

What do you think? I saw this on Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell. She suggested this.

[ShatteredWings]

Except adults purposfully disapear all the time.

Dislike "espeically women". Seriously. A man can be kidnapped too.

[ShyGuyInChicago]

Can someone move this to the debates section. I put it here by accident. I am sorry.

What about when adults disappear and there is cause to believe they are in danger? Or what if they are disabled?

[ShatteredWings]

That's not what the question was.

That is just one word. The people here might not understand.

This.

However, if there's probable cause to suspect fowl play, I'm all for it.

I agree. Except in most cases adults are able to fight for themselves, and there are missing persons cases for this. AMBER alerts were implemented after a child went missing and it took forever to get the information out. Now, since time is so crucial, when a child is kidnapped within the first few hours it is all over the news, texts and emails are sent, its all a big deal.

Time is equally as crucial in adult kidnapping cases as in child cases.

With adults you have to wait 48hrs for a missing persons report, in most states.

Without probable cause of fowl play.

Without probable cause of fowl play.

Well duh, if theres a bunch of people saying this guys just got taken at gunpoint or whatever, they're not gunna be like "Wait 48 hours and see if he turns up, then give us another call" :P

That's my point. Probable cause means there should be an amber alert.

[Chevy]

I think that they should do a thing, especially the elderly

Sorry that's my phone messing up and not posting what I wrote.

What my phone was supposed to post was that if they have alerts for old people, they might as well have them for women.
