Will it B reportd tht a txt msg rsultd in the recuvrE of an Amber Alrtd missng child by 9/1/08?

Settled as No

No reports indicate that this occurred by the settlement date.

Background:

Please read the attached link for background. Many communities are proacitively engaging their citizens to text authorities with Crime Stopper type tips via text messages. Many informers are already being thanked with rewards and it seems like it would be a natural progression for a report this summer to be that a child who was the subject of an Amber Alert was recovered as a result of a tip from a text message.

Hey Ryan,

The abbreviated market semantics are deliberate and related to the context.

Canada has an amber alert system too. I'm assuming this is not limited to USA...?
