I don't see how the Amber Alert process could help but degenerate. If you wait until you have all the facts before issuing it, it may be too late. But if you issue the alert early, you're bound to have bunches of false alarms. We had one here recently where the alleged hijack and kidnap was, in fact, a murder by the father. It's a noble purpose, but inherently flawed.
