Has this ever happened to you?

I turned off all emergency alerts on my cell phone. I would get nationwide Amber alerts any hour of the day.

Yup. A number of times. It’s alarming when it’s late at night

Amber alert went out last night in Arizona too. A father without custody drove off with the baby while the mother held on to the car. Baby survived with injuries but mother later died.

I get one every several months, always hundreds of miles away from me.

Definitely a good idea, but the implementation has problems.
I don’t remember ever signing up for it. Did you?

I don’t remember ever signing up for it It's probably part of the default-ON "notifications" of your phone. Like the EBS (Emergency Broadcast System). You have to make changes to the settings to disable the notifications.

Did you get a new phone?
I had an old dumb phone until AT&T informed me that older technology phones would not be supported on the network. So I got an iPhone. And now I get alerts.

It happened for the first time a few days ago...I thought it was my fire alarm...

Has happened to me a few times. Trouble is, the abductions were several hundred miles away.
I finally turned the alerts feature off in my settings.

Its a good thing I was in my house and not driving in the car...I startled me so much I might have run off the road...

How do you do that ??? [Turn off alerts]
Google/duckduckgo search for 'turn off smart phone alerts'. You can probably find instructions for your phone. It is likely in the 'settings' section, but those vary from phone type to phone type.

If you have an iPhone go to SETTINGS > NOTIFICATIONS > scroll to the bottom of NOTIFICATIONS and you’ll find “Government Alerts”. Turn whatever you want to get (or not) on or off.

I turned off these “emergency alerts.” There is NO way they can be of any help to me while I’m home sleeping! I’m sick of the government telling me what I should be concerned over.
They already keep the public in a state of heightened anxiety through the broadcast media!

I got that same alert. Stupid woman left her toddler and her dog in the back seat of her Lexus, with the driver’s door open and the car running, while she went inside the lobby of a motel. Surprise surprise! A dindu got in the car and drove away. Mother of the Year came running outside afterward. She’ll probably get the kid back.

The bulk of the Amber Alerts in my area are the result of squabbling parents.
