MySpace Getting AMBER Alerts

The next time you decide to plot the kidnapping of your neighbor’s kid for beer money, you may want to re-think what you’re doing: MySpace is now equipped to send out AMBER alerts for missing children. With increased pressure from activist groups and concerned parents, MySpace has partnered with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children so that whenever a critical child abduction case has occurred, an AMBER alert bulletin will appear on the site.
And let’s face it, after enjoying TO CATCH A PREDATOR about 20 times over, there’s obviously a need for this. Kudos to you, MySpace, for making progress towards the greater good.

This is nothing new or unusual. Project Safekids has been providing Amber Alerts on My Space and all other social networking websites for quite some time now. My Space is the “Predator’s Playground”. It is an attempt for them to basically get some free PR only. They will ultimately been pretty unffective as the way that they are set up for distribution. Alas though the mission has been accomplished. You are talking about it on the morning show.
