Instagram Is Going To Start Having AMBER Alerts Go Out To Users Of The Platform

“For example, in 2020, Amanda Disley and her husband helped rescue 11-year-old Charlotte Moccia of Springfield, Massachusetts, after seeing an AMBER Alert on Facebook,” Emily Vacher, the Meta’s Director of Trust and Safety said in a press release.

“And in 2016, an AMBER Alert was issued after a four-year-old girl was abducted in Lakeland, Florida.”

“Kaytlin Brown, an anesthesia technician at Baptist East Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee was on her lunch break when she saw the alert on Facebook, recognized the missing child, and quickly took action.”

As part of the Keeping Hope Alive with the AMBER alert program, these alerts are broadcasted on digital highway signs, the radio, our televisions, and wireless devices when a child has been abducted or determined to be in imminent danger.

The AMBER alert program has become a national focus as we strive to broadcast in every way possible across the world in order to save the lives of children who have been ripped away from their families.

As we push for better ways to notify the missing endangered children worldwide, be on the lookout for the next notification, as you might just catch a glimpse of information throughout your Instagram feed.
