 Amber Alert
 
 

​What is an AMBER Alert?The America’s Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response (AMBER) Alert is part of the nationwide AMBER Plan and is a voluntary partnership between law-enforcement agencies and media broadcasters. The plan utilizes the latest tools and resources to quickly notify the public of an abducted/taken child. The importance of this program is what drives the continued need to develop technologies and strategic partnerships to aid in the safe recovery of our most vulnerable loved ones. 
The State's AMBER Alert Program is modeled after the nationwide AMBER Plan, which was developed in 1996 after nine-year-old Amber Hagerman was abducted and brutally murdered near her home in Arlington, Texas. Amber's death had such an impact on her community that it prompted law enforcement agencies and the Texas Association of Radio Managers to develop an emergency alert plan to help recover abducted children. In 2002, Assembly Bill 415 (Government Code section 8594) was signed into law and mandated that AMBER Alert plans be implemented statewide and charged the CHP as the statewide coordinator for all AMBER Alerts. 

​​AMBER Alert CriteriaIn order for an AMBER Alert to be activated, the following criteria must be met (Government Code section 8594): 1. Confirmation that an abduction has occurred or a child was taken by anyone, including, but not limited to, a custodial parent or guardian.2. The victim is 17 years of age or younger, or an individual with a proven mental or physical disability.3.
California’s Child Welfare System: Addressing Disproportionalities and Disparities
Many of California’s policies and recent budget augmentations in the child welfare system focus on preventing maltreatment and providing trauma‑informed care when maltreatment has occurred. In addition, California’s policies (along with federal policies) increasingly have focused more on prevention services. When removals are necessary, policies and funding also have focused on lessening the trauma of child welfare system involvement by aiming to increase foster placements with relatives (as opposed to unrelated resource families or congregate care). 
Poverty and Risk Factors for Maltreatment
Poverty or Economic Hardship Is a Key Risk Factor for Child Maltreatment. Economic hardship creates conditions in which the risk of maltreatment is higher due to stress, lack of resources, and other factors. Throughout the history of the child welfare system, the vast majority of system‑involved families have been low or very low income. Research has found both individual family poverty as well as neighborhood/community poverty are risk factors for child maltreatment. A study from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services found that children living in poverty are at seven times higher risk for neglect, three times higher risk for physical abuse, and two times higher risk for sexual abuse. 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Framework Lays Out How Poverty Correlates With Other Risk Factors. The national CDC developed a framework of risk and protective factors for child maltreatment, shown in Figure 7. Many of the risk factors derive from or otherwise strongly correlate with experiencing poverty or economic hardship. According to the CDC, “Risk factors are characteristics that may increase the likelihood of experiencing or perpetrating child abuse and neglect, but they may or may not be direct causes. A combination of individual, relational, community, and societal factors contribute to the risk of child abuse and neglect.” Importantly, the presence of risk factors does not necessarily mean that child maltreatment will occur, but rather indicates increased risk that maltreatment may occur. Different families may experience the same combination of risk factors but have different outcomes.
