Amber Alert

Child abduction is one of the worst tactics people take during the divorce process. Sadly, in today's world, there are countless parental child abduction cases reported each year. According to the United States Department of Justice, each year 350,000 children are victims of child abduction when parents separate or divorce. Many times, a parent abducts a child and moves to another state or even worse another country, which can create very serious problems. When a divorce is messy and there is fear that one spouse may try to kidnap the child, it's best to be prepared. If you think your child has been abducted, call the Police immediately. If you have suspicions that your child might be abducted...

Child abduction is the abduction or kidnapping of a child by an older person. Generally this happens for one of two reasons. Either a stranger is taking a child for criminal purposes or the most common reason; one of the parents is retaining the child. The most common of the two usually occurs when parents separate or start to go through a divorce. A parent may remove a child hoping for leverage over the other in any number of ways. Hoping to have an advantage in an expected child-custody case. In some cases it can be something as simple as fear of losing that child. The least common of the two types involves someone seeking a ransom. Yes, some folks think by taking a rich family's child they will...

As the world continues to get smaller and international travel more common, areas of the law once thought to be of primarily local jurisdiction are now turning out to have international complications. Nowhere is this more evident than in the area of family law. Marriages between citizens of differing countries can be extremely beneficial and worthwhile, but when they break down the fight over child custody and visitation can quickly become quite complex. Simply serving a legal notice of a lawsuit on a party residing in a different country can be difficult and at times expensive. Often it requires familiarity with the Hague Convention on the Service Abroad of Judicial and Extra-Judicial Documents in...

The Amber Alert GPS tracker was founded by Russell Thornton who lost his child for less then an hour at an amusement park. After such an experience he was determined to find a solution and that is when he invented the Amber Alert GPS tracker to help parents such as himself keep track of their sons and daughters. I have personally purchased the tracker for my kids and have found it to be very useful. The device is actually rather small it is less then two inches in height and width so your child can easily wear it around their neck as a necklace or keep it stored away somewhere safe. The GPS tracker comes with 8 very helpful features such as providing maps of the exact location where your child is...

The Amber Alert GPS child locator is a considerable financial investment. It is hard to justify many dollars on a gadget that doesn't do a whole lot. Sure, its main job is very important and if it saves a child's life it is worth twice its price. So, does the Amber Alert GPS do anything else? Yes, it sure does! It has many important features. Here are a few: You can connect with the device via your cell phone or your computer. Tap the code in and within seconds a map and directions of your child's location appear on the screen. This you probably already know. But, did you know you can listen in to the conversation that is going on around your child? And, no one will know you are there. And, there is...

I hope you never need this article. Very rarely does it happen, but there are times that one parent goes off the deep end and decides that the Orders of the Court are not meant for them. Children are taken out of school, hidden at relatives' homes, and secreted from the "custodial" parent. (In this context custodial means the parent who should have that child during that time frame or the parent with the majority contact time.) The first step is to make sure that the current Order is clear and specific enough to be enforceable. Whether law enforcement will assist when one parent violates a court ordered contact schedule has a lot to do with how clearly written it is. Even with the most clearly...

Like most search engines, MSN can help you find many things online. Most people can not find anything without the help of a good search engine. Unless the exact address of something is already known, it can be next to be impossible to find anything otherwise. Search engines are big business, and may just be the most used sites online. If you are looking for a person, using one is a great idea. MSN is just one of the ones you will want to try. When searching, don't make the mistake of trying just one. You should experiment with many if you seem to be coming up blank, as each can come up with something different. When you log on to MSN.com, you will see that they have direct links to white pages and...

We get worry every time we know that something is missing, even if it is only simple pen or toys. We usually find time in looking for it. We even ask somebody to help us especially if it is sentimental in value. We do not stop looking for it until we find it. If you are doing this to a simple thing, what more if it is your loved one who is missing. Maybe you will go to different place just to find him or her. Most of the people will do these things just to find the person they are trying to look. People will exert more effort for their love one. They are very much willing to spend money just to find their missing love one. They will go up to the extent of asking every people that they may encounter...

I've hit my share of "brickwalls" in the research of my own family tree. What I've learned is that our ancestors were much more mobile than we ever thought. To help you in your hunt for lost ancestors and the "missing links" that will solve your genealogy mysteries I'm sharing the strategies that have led to finding people you may think were dead or never counted on public records. 1. County Lines: The US was a rapidly developing country beginning in the 19th century. Geographic features sometimes blurred where one county began and another ended and at other times counties were added as governmental districts were reassessed and towns were incorporated or expanded. Whatever the reason don't write...

If you believe that your child is at risk of being taken out of the country by his other parent, or if this has already happened, there are several things you must and should do immediately. If your child is still in the country, you and your attorney should work on precautionary measures, such as finalizing a specific custody order, which is discussed in more detail below. If your child has already been taken, you should contact local law enforcement immediately and possibly file an application under the Hague Convention on Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, which is also explained in further detail below. Before your child is taken Oftentimes, there are warning signs of the other...

The Amber Alert System started in 1996 to help find abducted children. It all happened when Dallas-Fort Worth broadcasters and the area police agencies wanted to develop a system. They wanted to create an early warning system to aid and assist in finding abducted children. The name AMBER is the acronym for America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response. It was given this name in memory of nine-year-old Amber Hagerman. Amber was kidnapped and murdered while out on a bike ride in Arlington, TX. As usual a good idea spreads quickly and pretty soon other states were setting up their own AMBER alerts as the sentiment for what happened swept across the nation. To make a long story short AMBER Alerts are...

Right now, I am sitting with my youngest son while he falls asleep because he was scared to be alone. Sometimes he is my best inspiration because as good as I feel about the work I do in child safety, it is times like this when I am just a mom with a scared little boy who I want to protect from the dangers of the world. Apparently, he had walked through the living room where his older brother was watching a police show and heard a reference of an abducted child. When I was tucking him into bed, he called me Mommy (I am usually just Mom now), and said that he did not want to be stolen. As the lump rose in my throat, giving him a hug and telling him that I was there to protect him was all I could do...

National Missing Children's Day - May 25 Between 1979 and 1981 a series of high-profile missing-children cases became national headlines. Three such cases contributed to the shock of the nation’s consciousness bringing attention to the seriousness of child victimization and forever changing the response by law-enforcement agencies to reports of missing children. On May 25, 1979, Etan Patz disappeared from a New York City street on his way to school. Even before cases of missing children routinely garnered national media attention, Etan’s case quickly received a lot of coverage. His father, a professional photographer, disseminated black-and-white photographs of Etan in an effort to find him. The...

an't believe it's happened, but it has. Your spouse has ran away with your kids and you have absolutely no idea where they are, or when, or if, they're ever coming back. While your first instinct, naturally, will be to panic, it's important to keep a clear head while contacting the right people and staying calm and organized, as in most all cases, a parent will not harm their own child. First, gather as many family members and friends as you have for support, and for help, as there most certainly may be times when you aren't up to talking or rehashing the same details over and over again. You'll also need help manning the phones, taking care of the house, and getting the word spread quickly, calling...

It is very difficult to keep in touch with every person in a highly populated country like the United States. Keeping track of every individual is even more difficult and requires the effort of all people in the community to help. Communication technology is crucial here, and the Amber Alert system was one of the results in using public communication to help find the whereabouts of children. The success of the Amber Alert led to other alert systems like the Silver Alert. Defining this type of Alert This type of alert is somewhat the opposite of an Amber alert as it covers seniors. It revolves around a program called the "National Silver Alert Program" where the objective is to save unattended...

According to the United States Juvenile Justice Department, in excess of 800,000 children are reported missing each year; Another 500,000 go missing without ever being reported..."It is important to know that in 80% of abductions by strangers, the first contact occurs within a quarter mile of the child's home. In many cases, the abduction does, too. Sadly, a child goes missing every 40 seconds in the United States, averaging over 2,100 incidents per day. It is important as parents and caregivers that we equip our children with tools and information that can potentially save their lives and prevent our children from becoming another sad statistic. The Amber Alert system is a powerful tool in getting...

A child distance monitor is an electronic transmitter and receiver set that lets you know when your child moves farther away from you than the set distance. The purpose of this devise is to prevent children from becoming lost by simply wandering away from their parents when they're not looking. With the amazingly high numbers of children being lost every year there's no questioning the need to keep our children close at hand. Still, the need for awareness remains so great that May 25th has been designated National Missing Children's Day. Almost every parent, including this author, has had at least one occasion when they were momentarily distracted from their children, turned back around and did not...

The divorce is finally over. No more fighting over who gets to keep the home and other real estate. Those leather couches, and the expensive art hanging on the walls of your summer home. A drop in the bucket compared to the company that both of you slaved over to build or the family pet that made your kids so happy. The whole process almost landed you in Bankruptcy Court. But even now, all that looks small compared to the most important issue of all: child custody. But hey--all of this is over. Resolved. Now you can breathe a sigh of relief. You've probably been wondering about your future - without your x. Yes, being single again definitely has its benefits. Maybe you're going out more...

year 354000 families find themselves caught in the nightmare of parental abductions. A parental abduction is defined as “the taking, retention, or concealment of a child or children by a parent, other family member, or their agent, in derogation of the custody rights, including visitation rights, of another parent or family member” If your child is the victim of a parental abduction you need to act quickly. You need to make contact with the police and establish a rapport with the detectives assigned to your case. You need to inform your lawyer or if you do not yet have a lawyer, retain one that has experience in parental abduction cases. You should also hire a private investigator that...

A device called Amber Alert, named after a child who was kidnapped and murdered, was invented by Russell Thornton following his young son's disappearance at a carnival. It was only half an hour before he was found but Russell was out of his brain. That's when he decided to do something about finding missing children. He invented a global tracking device which works globally. It can be worn on the wrist, ankle or belt. It can also be placed in a school bag or backpack and the location of the child can be known immediately. But it also works for adults. Everyone is Vulnerable At Times Bush walkers are prone to disappear without a trace and a British backpacker is currently missing in the Blue...

When I was a teenager, life seemed much easier and harmless compared to the life a teenager faces these days. Back in those days, we took off on our bikes in the morning and didn't come back until the evening for supper. Our days were filled with cycling, swimming, fishing, berry picking, etc. and there were no cell phones for constant contact, nor was there a need. We had no money and did not notice-the things we did came with no cost. I never appreciated just what freedom we had and what fun we experienced, until I raised two teenagers of my own and became painfully aware of how life and the generations have changed. Today, no one let's their children out of their sight unless they know exactly...

In 1981, 6 year-old Adam Walsh went missing in a department store. His mother looked for him and it wasn't until two hours later than an employee called the police. Unfortunately for the mother, the child's decapitated head appeared 2 weeks later. This tragedy led to the creation of the Code Adam. The Code Adam is a procedure that is used by department stores and other places where parents routinely take their children, like museums or amusement parks. The aim of Code Adam is to find a child who has been missing, as well as preventing anyone who might have abducted the child from taking him out of the premises. There are six steps that sre followed when a person reports a missing child.a) The...

If you live in the USA, you probably know what a Code Adam is. For those of you who don't know, Code Adam is an emergency code used in many retail stores. The meaning of the code is "lost child," and when it's issued, staff that has been trained in the code start a procedure that aims at finding the child and keeping strangers from taking him outside of the premises. The code is named after Adam Walsh, a child that went lost inside a Sears department store in Florida in 1981. His severed head appeared 2 weeks later. A man named Ottis Toole confessed the crime while serving in prison for other crimes. However, due to lack of evidence, he wasn't convicted until 2008, years after he had died in prison...

In every country in the world, there are kids that believe that they can get away with anything, but instead, may get find trouble. Some internet activities that appear harmless, may expose your entire family to great harm. In this information age, more teens have internet access now than ever. In fact, 93% of American teenagers between the ages of 12 and 17 regularly go online. We can turn on the news and anytime and we hear about internet predators lurking on the social media websites like MySpace, YouTube, Friendster, befriending and abducting innocent children and teens. While most of these networks install safegaurds to screen out predators to curb abuse, they are simply not capable of...

The Internet can be the most wonderful and dangerous place for our children to play. In spite of all of the warnings by the media and police agencies, the problem seems to be growing. Just about every one of the articles and documentaries addressing this problem come up with the same solution - parents! They need to get much more involved with what their children are doing while surfing the web. It's just too easy to meet people on a child's computer monitor. It's even easier when the computer is located in the child's bedroom away from the eyes of their only protection - parents. This is a comparatively new problem, which has materialized over the past 15 years or so. Any child 15 years old, or...

Have you ever wondered as your child goes off to school if they will make it home safe? Or, dealing with crowds at theme parks and even stores...

All I can say is that you can never be too safe or careful. Your job as a parent is to protect your...

Modern flat screen TVs are now becoming just as common a technology outside the home as they are in. From retail stores to shopping malls, digital LCD screens are a common sight, used for promotion, advertising and brand awareness. And outdoor locations are becoming increasingly common too with outdoor digital signage now a common sight along high streets and roadsides. But outdoor advertising and digital signage are not the only uses of digital screens, which have become an important tool for many authorities. Missing persons One use, adopted in the United States and now spreading across the globe is the use of outdoor digital signage screens to help locate missing persons. Each year in the USA...

Put Active RFID Satellite Tags in SpongeBobs SpongeBob has been in the news a lot lately, he has been a kidnapped Victim. Instead of wasting time with an Amber Alert for SpongeBob, why not put an Active RFID Satellite Tags in the SpongeBobs so we can track them to the culprits. This would surely be a major deterrent to the kidnappers. Such a plan would insure the safe return of Hostages such as SpongeBob and catch the people terrorizing him? SpongeBob needs protection and apparently we could use some practice catching kidnappers and those who terrorize our most valuable people? Apparently the temptation to break one's ethical code is easy if you reduce the crime of theft or kidnapping to a prank...

Data network affiliates are proven systems for collecting data and documenting that work in 4 different ways. There are business to business networks or databases, people to business, people to people, and people to business. The entire point of these data network affiliates is to record data to help people in many different ways. Looking at the "people to people" category, this kind of data processing can help the Amber Alert program to find missing children. This works because data was captured of cars, license plates, times, and places, which law enforcement can use to correlate with kids that have been reported missing in a certain area. This has become very successful over the past few years...

One of the most interesting work-from-home or money making ideas is to tag every car you see at your local shopping center or public car park. This is a concept developed by data networking companies after realizing that there was a need to help find missing children. According to the Department of Justice, 797,500 children have gone missing over a one year period, which works out to about 2185 children each day. The main benefit of tagging cars is to prevent child abductors from escaping the clutches of the law. The information is used by law enforcement to identify possible culprits and establish patterns of locals in the area. The tag every car initiative is entering stage 2, and data collectors...

Emergency Information Services (EIS) is a Multi-Level Marketing company with Tim Ross who is the President. It looks like they are based in Houston Texas.

Because of this, Emergency Sticker was launched to help to get as many of these kids back safely as possible. This website allows parents to store information about their children in an online database. It's the same type of system the DOJ or Department of Justice and NASA use so it's hacker safe. Debra Clemente from Emergency Information Services (EIS) is the one who is pushing this website to help get...

So you're going on an international trip? How exciting! However, international rules and regulations should be taken into account at all times. You will need at least a passport and a visa in order to travel internationally. Ensure that you keep these documents safe at all times. Passports A passport is an internationally recognized travel document that verifies your identity and your nationality. You need a valid passport to leave your country and enter a foreign one... and to go back home! There are countries that require your passport to be valid for at least six months or longer after your trip. Additional rules and regulations govern travelling with children in an attempt to prevent child...

In recent years, dogs have become an intricate part of law enforcement. Dog training for law enforcement purposes is critical in preparing them for their role in law enforcement. This type of training will have your canine performing more then basic guard duties, security, protection or agility exercises. In law enforcement your k9 duties are very clear, and the training program is designed to assist them in performing their duties to their best ability. All k-9 breeds have a unique sense of smell; dog training can hone those skills to find anyone whether it is a hundred yards away or in a place that no one would think to look. Police canine training is very rigid because the dogs will...

Dredging involves excavating an area that is at least partly submerged. This can involve anything from a river or lake to the open seas. There can be several reasons for dredging an area, but the most common reason is to gather the sediment from the bottom of the lake or section of ocean and then redeposit or dispose of this sediment elsewhere. In many cases, the reasoning behind doing a dredge of an area is to keep the sediment from building up. In some waterways, for example, if too much sediment builds up, larger ships may not be able to use the waterway. In this same way, dredging can also be used to increase a channel's or river's water capacity to help relieve flooding in some areas. There are...

Most pet owners are happy if they can teach their dog to sit and stay, but dogs can be trained to perform a vast number of tasks, and there are many types of dog training schools. Hunting dogs are often sent away to a boarding school, where they go through intense daily workouts. This can take several months and does not frequently involve the dog owner. The instruction takes place at the trainer's location and there are usually a number of animals being trained simultaneously. Most family pets are not enrolled in this type of training, although the old-school train of thought about hunting dogs not being treated as pets is changing. Dogs that are being trained to be assistance animals, such as...

When you feel the urge to find someone you have not seen in a long time, or when you must find them for legal reasons, you will find many good tools right on your home computer. You should start with general searches from search engines like MSN, Yahoo, and Google, just to name a few, but those can come up blank. You may then want to try a site like Pipl. This type of site is made just for the purposes of locating missing people without too many unrelated search results. What you will find when you visit Pipl is that this search engine does not just search the web, but rather, goes through searching an area this site refers to as the deep web. There are some hidden resources on the Internet that...

I have visited Turkey, but not Istanbul. It's one of those iconic places that keeps cropping up in travel plans, but then gets overlooked, possibly because its name fits so easily into my thoughts that I convince myself I have already been there. Having just read Orhan Pamuk's The Black Book, that illusion will be orders of magnitude stronger. Orhan Pamuk won the 2006 Nobel Prize for literature and this seems to have spurned new translations of his work, new versions which hopefully can widen his readership in the English-speaking world. The Black Book is a gigantic work. And, in the way that I suspect most readers might understand the term, there is no plot. Suffice it to say that Galip wakes up...

Cooee is an Australian slang word that is based on the sound of a particular bird. Australian language is unique in the way it sounds and also includes a whole array of expressions that can be quite amusing to an outsider. Crocodile Dundee has brought cooee, Australiana and many Australian expressions to the world. Cooee, like many other Australian words, is of Aboriginal origin, but a large part of the Australian language comes from British and Irish convicts. Australian Slang is colloquial, used in informal conversation. It is much stronger in the bush (wooded areas) and outback (a remote and sparsely populated area) and in the poorer city areas. And it is a stereotype - we don't all speak...

Labradors are known for their intelligence and friendliness. Because they are intelligent they can be trained to do many different types of things. They have been known to assist humans in everyday tasks for many years. Labradors are often used as guide dogs for the blind, deaf, and other handicapped people. They can also be trained to be therapy dogs for the elderly people in nursing homes and for emotionally disturbed children. The military and the police have used Labradors to track criminals, weapons, bombs, drugs, and to find missing people. Though Labradors are used in many ways to assist people today, they were originally trained to do only one thing: HUNT. Hunting Labradors originally...

There are many great online searches that can help you find someone that you have not seen nor heard from in a very long time. You may even find information on someone's phone number through some of these services. Many like to start with the general searches like Google, MSN, or Yahoo, but there are more specialized searches out there that deal with finding missing people without all of the irrelevant results. One such site is Pipl. What makes Pipl different from other search sites is that it goes to what it calls the deep part of the World Wide Web. It claims that there are many resources that remain hidden to the major search engines for a variety of reasons, and that means the results never come...
