This issue of the AMBER Advocate focuses on “Families Reunited.”
In its third issue of 2024, the AMBER Advocate spotlights “Families Reunited.” The cover story on “Family Togetherness in D.C.” focuses on parents and siblings of missing children who came together for this year’s National Missing Children’s Day to discuss how to help other families with missing children. The issue also includes a message from parent-advocate Patty Wetterling to DOJ and NCMEC. Other features include a deep-dive into Hawaii’s AMBER Alert success rate and an introduction to Texas AMBER Alert Coordinator Michael Nixon, who helps first responders recognize and address the impacts of trauma. Another article features the California Highway Patrol’s challenge coins, which are awarded to those who go above and beyond in searching for missing children. The Courses of Action section provides QR codes to access training and networking opportunities for child protection professionals. The latest news from the U.S. and Indian Country is also covered.
