Amber alert on myspace?

[snipsnip]

I logged onto myspace and had an amber alert on my homepage.
I'd never seen that before on myspace.  Have any of you?  :?

Anyway, I thought that was interesting.  I didn't know myspace did that.
The little boy went missing on the 8th, but it said they couldn't put out an amber alert nationwide because there was no proof that he'd been abducted.  I'm assuming this means they now have proof that he was?  There's a $26,000 reward.  He was walking home after playing alone at a swing set in the yard of a friend in their trailer park.  The distance between the two homes is about a block.  So scary.  Poor little boy and his parents.  Hope he is safe.

Aww poor kid. I've never seen that either, but I think that's a good idea anyway.

That is a excellent idea.

They actually announced that on the news awhile back, I personally think it's a wonderful idea as well! Considering half the fucken world has a myspace and all...

[snipsnip]

I think so too. I wonder if it is something new myspace is doing.
I wouldn't know. I just started making a myspace page. And so, it begins.

I hope he gets home safe.

I too think that is a wonderful idea.

It must be new. I've never seen it before this one.

Great idea, for sure.

He's been missing since the 8th and they couldn't put out a nationwide Amber Alert until now?  That's crazy!

I agree.

And lots of people don't have time to watch the news or simply don't care.

I think it's an excellent idea.

I have never seen that.
Do they do it depending on your area?
Such as if the child is missing from South Texas, then maybe all the Texan Myspacers will see that post.

....I lived near there a few years ago and even visited brunswick with my kids...the good thing is the suspects have been found ....and Georgia is tough on crime....so the guy(s?) will probably get life.....

You always have hope that after the amber alert somone will call and they'll find the kid alive.
