When are Amber Alerts sent out for missing persons?

“Time is of the essence we need to find these kiddos as quick as we can,” said Sergeant for the Texas Department of Public Safety, Johnny Bures. “Sometimes these alerts are loud but they are meant to grab your attention to let you know that ‘Hey this is an emergency. Someone’s child is missing,’ and if this was your kiddo you’d do whatever it takes to try and find them.”
