Add the Alert and protect our children!
A new but incredibly important add-on has been released for Firefox, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer by the developers from the Boloto Group called Add The alert. Staggering amounts of children, as much as 800,000, go missing every year. That's right. 800,000! When a child goes missing one of the most critical steps is to make the people in the vicinity of the child aware as soon possible in order increase the chances of finding the missing child. This is where Add The alert comes into play.
Add The alert. is an add-on that will display alerts in your browser when a child is reported missing. When any missing child is reported, including Amber alerts, and acknowledged by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, it generates an Instant alert on the Add The alert system. For non-Amber alerts, all alert buttons within a 100 mile radius of the missing child's area display a small alert box. For Amber alerts, all alert buttons within the state designated by Amber receives the alert box. When the alert is clicked, the user will then be directed to information about the missing child that is posted on the NCMEC site.

As we get more and more of our news and information from a computer, having the alert system reach out directly to our desks is not only a brilliant idea, but an incredibly useful one. Any tool that can help us recover our missing children is a vital one. There is no excuse to not install this add-on. I have installed it and you wouldn't know it is even there, except when a child is reported missing! So there are no negatives and only positives with using this tool. Please install it now and protect our children!
