I am very much in favor of this system. However, in my estimation it needs improvement . I got the alert on my cell phone while I was sleeping . I woke up and saw it -then it vanished. I got little detail before it vanished. My 14 year old son was staying the night at a friends and I was concerned in my half asleep mind that the alert may somehow be regarding him. Fortunately my wife got the same text and explained what the alert was. Had she not been home, my heart and mind would have been tortured with confusion and worry and calls would have been made ---panicking everyone. I wish the alert would stay on your phone (I have AT&T if that matters) with an explanation of what it is.
Great idea- flaws need to be corrected (in my opinion)
Thank god the abducted little girl was found ., let's all pray for the family and I hope the father gets the help he needs- God Bless
