Senator
Feinstein discusses the importance of the AMBER Alert system: "The
first hours after a child is taken are critical. If the child is
not found in those first few hours, chances increase dramatically
that he or she will disappear forever. And this is the power of
the AMBER Alert system. An Alert can be issued within minutes of
an abduction - disseminating key information of the
crime to the community at large."
