"Florida Attorney General Charlie Crist has announced that his office is helping bring free wireless AMBER Alerts to more Floridians, making it easier for citizens to assist in efforts to locate abducted children. The Florida Attorney General's Web site now features a direct link to sign up for the free wireless service, in a move designed to raise public awareness of the Wireless AMBER Alerts initiative and encourage Floridians to subscribe to the service. "Every minute a child is missing is a minute too long," said Crist. "We must take every action possible to help ensure that children are safely returned to their loved ones as quickly as possible. This program saves lives." [see http://www.childrescuealert.com/ for UK practice]
