Amber alert in Jackson area for 6 year old

[Johnson85]

I get some of that, but by the time the sent out the alert they could've been already 3 hours from Jackson. Which puts you possibly in a better position to see the cars if they're out of Jackson. There definitely needs to be some tweaks to the system though.

Fair enough, but neither I nor my kids were in position to see any cars prior to 5am. The real issue is making it a silent alarm. That would have been just as effective by letting me know before I left the hosue when I might actually see people/cars, and would have resulted in me also seeing future notifications. Maybe there is a way to make it silent by phone settings, but all I could find was a toggle switch to either receive it or not, so we will not be receiving future notifications, at least until it's a regular occurrence to get a full night's sleep.

To bad you lost sleep. I'm sure that's the worst thing that happened in this situation*********
