Title: phone calls
Post by: Gerianne on February 05, 2017, 07:31:38 am: I get phone calls from an emergency service telling me to be on the lookout for someone and afterward I get a detailed description of the suspect. The other night, an autistic boy was lost.
Some of these phone calls give me a police report. I know these calls are to reach out to someone who might find the missing person.
I delete and block these calls. My list for blocked calls rotates.

I guess parents would want to know about this immediately rather than find out from their kids later that their school was in lock down.

Post by: pstovall on February 12, 2017, 01:37:34 pm: I, too, have never gotten a phone call like this. I assume you have to opt in for these type calls. I'm afraid it would be too disturbing to get those alerts. I do get the amber alerts through email and I always read them to see if I can help. Wouldn't it be something to spot one of those missing children!

Not all of these emergencies are related to kidnappings. I appreciate they can also alert you of harsh weather conditions ahead of time.
