    Every day in Every Country a child goes missing. This is fact

    . We all know this, we hear about high profile cases and spare a moment of our time to consider the pain and anguish being suffered by the families and we move on with our own lives.

    "Forever Searching", a group of volunteers, made a decision - no longer would we ignore the issue of missing children and no longer would we carry on living our lives without making an attempt to get these children seen.

    We are asking you to do the same. Please take a few minutes out of your day and have a look at our site dedicated to missing children. Follow the link below:
    (We understand many people are careful not to click on links so you may wish to type the address directly into your browser).

    On our site you will find many missing children from around the world. All we are asking is that you take a few minutes to take a look at the missing children from your country or any other country.

    Look into their eyes and ask yourself, if you can walk away without doing something to help raise awareness to them. Please help Forever Searching in achieving their aim, that no child should become just another statistic.


    AMBER ALERT


    The AMBER Alert Program, named for 9-year-old Amber Hagerman, is a voluntary partnership between law-enforcement agencies, broadcasters, and transportation agencies to activate an urgent bulletin in the most serious child-abduction cases. Broadcasters use the Emergency Alert System (EAS) to air a description of the abducted child and suspected abductor. This is the same concept used during severe weather emergencies. The goal of an AMBER Alert is to instantly galvanize the entire community to assist in the search for and safe recovery of the child.


    How does the Alert system work?
    Alerts are sent out via the Emergency Alert System (or Emergency Broadcast System, originally designed to disperse information after a nuclear attack) to law enforcement agencies and radio and television stations. The announcements are prefaced by a special "Abducted Child Statement" code, to differentiate them from tornado or flood warnings. Some states also use large traffic alert signs on their highways, especially when the suspect is believed to have access to a car.

    AMBER ALERT SYSTEM IS IN EUROPE NOW !. like everyone else here, i wanted amber alert in europe, i contacted the police departments and goverments to no avail. Having witnessed a child abduction last december, i realised that the original Amber Alert system was NOT set up by goverments, but by the ordinary people of Arlington in Texas U.S.A. ! we must do it ourselves and then let the goverments, Media and Law enforcement communities join in with us, Please visit WWW.AMBERALERT.IE and help us succeed in this important public service
