Amber Alerts?

Has anyone else signed up for the wireless amber alerts?

I keep hearing their ads on talk radio, so I thought I’d check it out. It sure seems like a great idea … if there is an amber alert on a missing child, everyone who signs up in that zip code gets a FREE text message to their cell phone.

I hope that I never have to use it, but can you imagine if a child was lost in a park and within minutes all of the moms in the park received the alert? It would DRASTICALLY increase the ability of our wonderful law enforcement professionals to help us and keep us safe, wouldn’t it?

Anyway–we signed up and I was just curious if you guys had heard of it/signed up.

(If you click through to sign up–be warned that the process is a little clunky. I was tempted to give up–but then I thought, “What if it were MY child?” so I persevered.)

Happy Monday to you!!

Love,
