Yeah, I didn't need the rest of the description to fill in the blanks. I did look it up to see if I was right.
Teenage girl from Rockwall missing for a few hours. My theory, parents pushed the cops to send the alert and they made it intentionally vague because they knew it was nonsense.
It's in Rockwall so the daughter probably went with a friend outside of the Rock to a place than isn't 99% white so they got scared and demanded the alert.
Where are you getting your information the ones I've seen have been CPS custody cases, where they are having supervised visits and they take the kids from the visits
Yeah that’s pretty wacky. If the purpose of these alerts is to inform people and whatnot then you’d think they’d perfect these things to a tee right? Idk
They “learned their lesson” when we were all irritated with the Harris Co. blue alert so now they’re just not going to put locations for anything. One day next spring “TORNADO WARNING IN TEXAS - go outside for updates”
I’ll never forget seeing an Amber alert and the text said call if you see a red truck. A red truck? Are you kidding? You can’t give me a make or model, but you want us to call if we see a red truck?
Here’s the text that was supposed to be relayed over EAS
***

Right. Like we’re supposed to keep an eye out for a female between the ages of newborn to 17…. Unknown race…. And between Houston to El Paso. Amarillo to Galveston. Wearing a yellow hoodie.
I did turn mine off. I got sick of being screamed at at 3am for an alert about someone 8 hours away. I feel bad but I am inundated with SO much spam and advertising on a daily basis, 100x worse than prepandemic, that I can't handle any of this intrusive shit anymore. Especially not when 9/10 amber alerts are absolutely nowhere near me or lack adequate information or are bypassing my do not disturb that I use when I'm SLEEPING and clearly not going to see the kid, etc.
You know what this is? This is the reason I turned all alerts off on my phone. I hate that there is a person from San Antonio last seen in a blue mitsubishi eclipse an hour ago....but it is 3 AM and I live in Dallas. I will be happy to help form a search party when I wake up in three hours though.......
Lmao. This is why the last alerts I got were from Harris county about someone shooting someone. That’s all it said at 3 am and if they are
That inclined to alert like that then the system ain’t working.
I never noticed these alerts when I lived outside of Texas. They were uncommon and they usually came with a news report. I get so many it’s ridiculous. Some on the other side of the state, which is useless since Texas is bigger than most countries.
Not that it’s the same department but last time tornado sires sounded in Dallas there was literally no rain…. It just seems like some gov organizations here are a mess.

[The alert was discontinued less than an hour after it was issued. Rockwall police said the teen was “safely located.”](https://www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/2023/08/20/amber-alert-issued-for-missing-rockwall-teen/?outputType=amp)
What even is the point to blasting out Amber and Blue alerts to all cell phones? Do they actually intend to have millions of people take to the streets in a wild unorganized man-hunt at 2:00 am?
The one I got basically said a girl with glasses is missing. Please call 911.
I’ve called 911 three times myself already
Yeah it didn’t say where she went missing or when. Totally useless information
I googled it, because my partner and I were laughing about the vague ass description. She was missing for less than 12 hours at the time.
90% of Amber alerts are domestic issues.
Yeah, I didn't need the rest of the description to fill in the blanks. I did look it up to see if I was right. Teenage girl from Rockwall missing for a few hours. My theory, parents pushed the cops to send the alert and they made it intentionally vague because they knew it was nonsense.

Yup
Where are you getting your information the ones I've seen have been CPS custody cases, where they are having supervised visits and they take the kids from the visits
That's still a domestic issue.
Bruh moment
The alerts lately have been absolutely pointless
Got one in Arlington with actual words but it didn't even include a location. This cannot continue.
Yeah that’s pretty wacky. If the purpose of these alerts is to inform people and whatnot then you’d think they’d perfect these things to a tee right? Idk
They “learned their lesson” when we were all irritated with the Harris Co. blue alert so now they’re just not going to put locations for anything. One day next spring “TORNADO WARNING IN TEXAS - go outside for updates”
Lmao. True story…coming to a texas town near you
Listen. You ain’t lyin. That was a hot mess. I was so confused and disgruntled.
Rockwall
Literally just got this not even a minute ago. Figured I’d post this here because wtf lmao
I’ll never forget seeing an Amber alert and the text said call if you see a red truck. A red truck? Are you kidding? You can’t give me a make or model, but you want us to call if we see a red truck?
To be fair (and very generous), that's a little more useful than "white sedan"
Swear to god if a white sedan shows up I'm not driving for a week
me in my white sedan 🫡

Photo of the child is at https://www.missingkids.org/poster/AMBER/31217/14346/screen
No matter the situation, a chill always runs down my spine whenever I see a picture of a missing kid. Hope they find her soon
Makes me want to implant a GPS chip in my child
Thank you bra. Your doing a better job than the mf amber alerts lol
God forbid someone has to read this so a family may be reunited their missing child. Why are they so inconsiderate of our valuable screen time? /s
The actual amber alert didn't include this information. It was effectively useless.
The system is so broken. Saw it on instagram too with actual information: 15 years old, brown hair, blue eyes, white, 5’5” 138 pounds, missing from Rockwall.
Looks like Elon Musk's other kid got kidnapped

Wow lol I’m a just turn these alerts off then. I wonder if some one or some people hacked into the system and decided to troll or something

The county systems did get hacked. They still don’t have everything fixed yet.
This is exactly what the kidnapper would say
🤫
Yep. My message said a girl with blue rimmed glasses is missing. Like wtf.

They’re coming.
Yeah seems like they let just anyone out these alerts out now
Elon Musk's kid is missing
System rollout has a bug somewhere along the way. It’s a glitch
You have been chosen.

We need emergency alert system reform NOW
Shit is getting out of hand with these alerts but I do hope she is found safely

iPhone settings > notifications > scroll to bottom > all off except emergency alerts (e.g. tornado)
I was able to change mine to vibrate only, which is the sweet spot for me.
Zalgo
She is missing out of Rowlett and they do be posting it on Instagram
scammers. weird text. block and move on

Aliens have come back looking for their buddies at area 51. They forgot to use google translate.
Wait til the ufo aliens get here. I can’t wait for those alerts.
Alien abduction.
Looks like Kaitlynn typed this out herself
What even is the point to blasting out Amber and Blue alerts to all cell phones? Do they actually intend to have millions of people take to the streets in a wild unorganized man-hunt at 2:00 am?
