Child Alert Center Charities is a 501c(3) not for profit organization that focuses on children's well being by promoting safety and bringing awareness to the public in the event they should go missing. Our broadcasts on local cable TV, display posters of missing children, interviews with family members and safety tips from law enforcement.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to save a child’s life. This will be accomplished by:
- Increasing public awareness of children reported missing every day in our communities.
- Educating the public on children safety issues to decrease child abduction opportunities.
Our Purpose
Our charities goals are to promote missing children awareness in the media to increase the recovery chances and to provide educational material regarding child safety prevention measures. Nearly 800,000 children are reported missing every year and less than 300 qualify for an Amber Alert, leaving many children with no media coverage. It is our belief these programs can make a difference.
The AMBER Alert™ Program is a voluntary partnership between law-enforcement agencies, broadcasters, transportation agencies, and the wireless industry, to activate an urgent bulletin in the most serious child-abduction cases. The goal of an AMBER Alert is to instantly galvanize the entire community to assist in the search for and the safe recovery of the child.
The AMBER Alert, “America’s Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response", was named for 9-year-old Amber Hagerman who was abducted and murdered in Arlington, Texas in 1996. At the time there was no system in place to quickly notify the public details of a child abduction. As a result the AMBER Alert system was designed specifically for abducted not simply missing children.
Child Alert Center Charities are committed to providing the following programs:
-
Quickly publish missing children's photos to the general public through media outlets in order to increase recovery chances.
-
Donate Child Alert Center services free to the families of our active men and women in the military. 
-
Donate child safety materials in schools and workplaces to increase awareness and decrease child abduction opportunities.
