COLLINS: Amber Alert worth being woken up?
THIS QUESTIONS DOESN’T NEED to be asked, does it? It does.
Last Monday night, I was snug in my bed, visions of sugar plums dancing in my head, when out of my phone there arose such a clatter, I turned to my iPhone to see what was the matter.
As it turned out, it was an Amber Alert, issued out of Vancouver, for a child missing from B.C.’s Children’s Hospital.
The fact that it was 11:20 PM made it all the more urgent. And the fact that this was the first time the AlertReady system had been used for an Amber Alert in B.C. had many people wondering what was happening.
