There have been a rash of fake alerts by text messages, Facebook, Twitter and email over the last year. Taking the additional step to validate an alert before sending it on can help reduce the chances of forwarding on a fake alert.

As a general rule, valid, active alerts will appear on the landing page of our website or you can check www.MissingKids.com.  In order to receive alerts, please sign up for an account on amberalert.com.
