Sorry to hear the afternoon has been a rough one War. But small blessings she is sleeping. Right now I am just frantic for our friends. Their 13 year old, intellectually challenged daughter has been missing for 12 hours. They just called to tell us. They live in a bigger city 1.5 hours away from us. I feel incredibly helpless. The authorities are involved. They have checked with all her friends and relatives. Unknown to our friends ( the child lives with another parent during the week) their daughter had been corresponding with a young man on the internet. Well at least we hope it is a young man. They have checked out him and he apparently has not seen her. I am VERY worried and I am trying to comfort our frantic friends. The stepmom, my friend, is 4 months pregnant and simply beside herself with terror. I know this club has been helpfull to me in the past with prayers for Alex. Please, if you are inclined, please say a prayer for Anne Marie. Please God let her be found safe and unharmed.

Yes, we do have an Amber Alert system in Canada. Here's a site with the ticker, saying there are no alerts at this time. http://www.csgnetwork.com/amberalertca.html Prayers are with you...

From the website An Amber Alert may only be activated by police agencies and is used only for the most serious, time-critical child abduction cases. The following criteria must be met before the police will activate an Amber Alert 1. The missing person must be under the age of 18; 2. The intitial police investigation confirms the abduction by a non-family member; 3. The victim's life is in imminent danger; 4. There is sufficient information to give the public so that they can help locate the victim and suspect (description of the vehicle, abductor, etc.) The Ambert Alert sends a very strong message that crimes against children will not be tolerated and that by working together, we can make our communities safe for all. I feel helpless.

Zachy.....This waiting is awful. Imminent danger...Like I know what that means, but for every minute that goes by someone could be doing something.

Do they think she has run away? Have the family call the news stations, local papers anyone and everyone who might put this out to the public!

Yes...apparently because they found the email from this guy. But it doesn't make sense because if they have been to see him and he doesn't know where she is, why aren't they doing more. My hubby is trying to speak with our local police department to find out about the protocol in these situations. I am feeling like we should be going to help search for her...the more bodies the better, but dh thinks that might not be what is needed right now...I just don't know

I have just added a new thread with the Amber Alert ticker for Canada, here in the General Discussions area. Due to the way these are written (Javascript), it required a separate thread. Amber Alert CA Amber Alert US Mod (22)

Just heard from my friend....police can't do anything formal until 9 tonight? She says it is because right now she is considered a runaway...not sure what that means. Coordinated search will be an option at that time. Right now family members are combing the city. She is frantic as are we. I will keep you posted.
