Amber alert
- Thread starter ToSlow
- Start date
I thought the same thing. Also, I've never seen one like that. The beep/ horn scared the ish outta me cause I was in the other room and my little guy had just fallen asleep on the sofa. It woke him up.
Glad the kid is okay though.

Red screen and blaring tone is SUPPOSED to be for a disaster/evacuation warning, not an amber alert. I thought Pickering had Fukushima'd when the first one lit my TV/HT up.
yeah, it was a bit over the top. robot couldn't even pronounce Orillia properly.
Now I'm finding out the real story behind this event, it makes the cops look pretty stupid.
By the way, if you are a witness to what you perceive to be a crime underway, you better do your best to follow through and at least get a licence plate number.

so... some people in downtown Orillia saw a man force a kid into a toyota sequioa ....turns out the kid ran away from home.....the man in the toyota was his dad, who had just found his kid.....
the cops acted on the information they had at the time, which was very little
I guess better safe than sorry. If there's anything I've learned from Criminal Minds it's that the first 12 hours are crucial.
Much talk about people being ****** about the alert. That it interrupted their tv shows. Imo, it was big enough acroos the screen that it didn't need the siren. And all you had to do was press exit to get rid of it. As a parent, I appreciate it.

...that's an abduction
I know, I said that. But not worthy of a red alert
why not?
Because a parent will not kidnap a child to kill him/her. If a parent wanted to kill their child, they would've done it a long time ago.
It's not a life threatening situation. No need for an alert
Pressing exit didn't work for me. A half hour of blaring and on-screen text because a kid was forced into a car. A province-wide alert, seriously. Even if it had been a real abduction, it was stupid.
These situations will only become more frequent as nobody wants to be the one who sounds like they don't care about the safety of a child. Just like out of control police budgets, this is an offshoot of our political correctness.
Christ - seriously? I had Joe's experience - hit exit and it went bye bye.
It has happened in past during family disputes, child abducted, killed, and then often followed by parental suicide. "If I can't have my kid, neither can you."

Reasons and Factors for Killing the Child(ren)
Investigators were also asked to check off from a list of factors, derived from an analysis of representative case files, those factors which the investigator determined had an effect on the murder. This analysis was based upon 178 responses. Multiple responses were permitted and the responses were collated and scored by the researcher. The reasons stated were as follows: angry with their spouse or mate (43%); experiencing family discord (38%); and frustration with an extended family situation (28%). The investigators reported that separation and divorce had an effect on the murders in 23% of the incidents. Custody dispute was identified as a factor in 5% of the incidents.
To further understand and attempt to capture the motive(s) for the killings, the investigators were asked to respond to an open-ended question, "What were the reasons as stated by the parent or guardian for killing the child(ren)?" Multiple responses were permitted and the responses were collated and scored by the researcher. Of the 125 responses (relating to 95 of 99 child deaths) the following reasons were identified: marital discord or cohabitation relationship problems (42%); the child(ren) or infant was killed because it was difficult to handle (16%); the killing was accidental (13%); and there was no reason or admission of guilt (20%).
Family Composition
An analysis of 88 incidents of parents or guardians who killed their child(ren) revealed that 50% were separated from their spouse at the time of the incident and 41% were not. No answer was given in 8% of the incidents.
Offenders Actions After Committing the Crime
An analysis was made to determine if the offender called the police or requested assistance. In the analysis of 98 responses to a fact-finding question, 40% of the offenders reported the incident to the police or called for assistance; 26% committed suicide; and, 33% did not contact law enforcement or request assistance. Multiple responses were permitted in this analysis. It was interesting to note that in the literature review some researchers pointed out that infanticide mothers tended not to follow the child death with suicide. Additionally, that the killing an infant was taken less serious by the Canadian society than killing a child (Bourget & Bradford, 1990). These observations require further research study.
Repercussion for Committing Crime
Fifty-one percent of the incidents went to trial. Of the 49% that did not, 34% of the offenders committed suicide.

On the other hand we had a break in a number of years ago. A neighbour saw someone in our back yard wearing a black hoodie and thought it looked suspicious but they also thought it might be one of our kid's friends fooling around. They didn't call the police in case their suspicions were unfounded and the police got annoyed. We came home to a looted house.
