I am contacting Code Amber to find out if they want to continue this alert. It looks as if this might be the father and there doesn't seem to be any reference to danger for the girl.

Will post anything I hear back.

Missing person ping.

If you want on/off my missing person ping list, please let me know. All requests happily honored.

I emailed the following to code amber:

Are you sure this is an appropriate case to code amber? Is the perp the father? There is no mention of there being danger to the girl. If this is a custody battle abduction, and there is no mention of danger to the child, this should not be featured on code amber.

This practice of featuring family abductions without force or threats will weaken the effectiveness of the amber alert system.

I post these alerts on a political/news forum for maximum exposure to try to help find the missing child. Please advise.

I received this response from Code Amber Bryant Harper:

Hi,

He is the Uncle and the alert is real. We run at the request of local and state law enforcement, we do not decide the merits of the cases.

Regards
Bryant
