All of a sudden all eyes are everywhere looking for the car and hopefully the child. It's heartbreaking that we have these things happening. But it's good that with technology we may be able to return a child safely to loved ones. I'm heading over there now. My friends don't read my blog so I guess I'll be emailing them a link too.

It breaks in on the radio... in the two I remember they tell you what kind of a car they believe may be involved. Suddenly you are so aware of the cars around you. Then you see it on the message boards over the highway. We don't have as many message boards as some cities and I know when you get out more rural there would not even be that. In both cases the Amber Alert was from another part of the state, but it is possible you'd be driving on the highways in Central Ohio and see someone who is fleeing from Cleveland or another part of the state. It breaks my heart when you see / hear stories about young, women students disappearing. We've had so many at Ohio State over the years. Thanks for the info Chris and Sarah, I suppose I ought to sign up. A couple of times this year I have been in my car when an Amber Alert has been issued in Ohio.
