A 21 month old child is playing in his own yard, while his mother attends to
chores in and around the house. The mother does not see her son in the yard.
She then notices an unfamiliar vehicle parked near her driveway. As the
mother exits the house the vehicle pulls away, and the child is not found.
The police respond and conduct and area search, but the child is not found.
Due to the age of the child, and the mother's ability to provide a description
of the child and suspect vehicle, this scenario WOULD qualify for an AMBER
alert. The ongoing investigation should, of course, include extensive area
searches in the event the child had wandered a relatively far distance.
