AMBER alerts are the first thing you turn off on a new phone because it's always some cunt ex-wife calling the police on the father for "kidnapping" for being late to the hand-off by two hours.
No I turn them off because they are annoying. I don't care if the reason is legitimate. Not my kids - I don't give a shit.
I'm also never in a position where I'd be able to do anything about it if I wanted. If I get them when I'm at home or at work, I'm not going to be able to notice the described vehicle. And if I get it when I'm driving, I'm not going to take my eyes off the road to look at my damn phone to read the alert.
The entire phone system is pure barbarism. Arguably the worst invention of the 20th century. The idea that someone in a remote location can disturb the peace of your home at any time and you're actually obligated to react immediately is completely insane. I've had my phone on silent for more than a decade now and never regretted it a day. The number of uninterrupted sleeps I've had as a result has probably added years onto my life.
Preach it, brother!
Alexander Graham Bell was a meddling son-of-a-bitch who should have been shot by some public spirited citizen before he perfected the telephone.
Same goes for his other competitors.

What about the mobile phone. And the smart phone.
Bring back switchboard operators.
I turn them off because they send out alerts for the entire state and Texas is too big for that. What is someone in Texarkana supposed to do about a kidnapping in El Paso? Texarkana is about as far from El Paso as Chattanooga is from New York City.
Well considering blacks tend to abandon their children instead of kidnapping them, you won't have to worry much about this situation.
Sometimes black dad just wants to take his kid to McDonald's without feeding the baby momma's other kids.
I see you're being extra generous today by going as high as hours with these situations.
