It reminds me a little of the “Amber Alerts” that come through our Comcast cable TV. They have been used repeatedly for kids in custody disputes living hundreds of miles away. Our city also has an automated phone system that woke up 500,000 people at 3:00 a.m. in the morning when a police officers daughter spent the night at a friend’s house.
The Amber Alert System was created to alert the public about life-threatening child kidnappings. Incidents where the children are in danger of being raped, tortured and killed. Instead, it’s now being bastardized (like everything else in the Obamanation) by using it for custody dispute incidents where one family member has ‘taken off’ with one of the kids with NO THREAT of them being raped, tortured or killed. It has even been used for hoaxes perpetrated by idiots. It’s the equivalent of crying wolf too many times...and it reminds me of how idiots use dialing 9/11 to complain about not getting fries with their burger.
The end result is...now I don’t even pay attention to those “alerts”. And I suspect that most folks ignore them also. So much for “well-intentioned thinking” (See: road to Hell, paved with).
