I fucking hate these alerts. They happen about once a month in my area and they're fucking annoying. I had to disable them on all my phones - even my old phones that aren't connected to any service provider go off.

I understand that missing children is a big deal, but don't annoy the fuck out of the public with these alerts because the police can't fucking properly do their jobs.

I usually assume it's the state trying to kidnap a child from their own parents. Usually it's one of the parents, a 'non-custodial parent', who is wanted in those Amber Alerts. Not always, some kids are taken from their parents. If the Amber Alert is about a non-custodial parent I'm gonna mind my own business...

This is my biggest complaint. This system should be used for actual abductions, not when a parent who loves and cares for their child panics and runs off with them.
