PANAMA CITY Amber Alert!! 3 year old boy taken

Here are the guidelines for issuing an Amber Alert.

AMBER Alert - Guidelines

Sufficient Descriptive Information

For an AMBER Alert to be effective in recovering a missing child, the law enforcement agency must have enough information to believe that an immediate broadcast to the public will enhance the efforts of law enforcement to locate the child and apprehend the suspect. This element requires as much descriptive information as possible about the abducted child and the abduction, as well as descriptive information about the suspect and the suspect’s vehicle. Issuing alerts in the absence of significant information that an abduction has occurred could lead to abuse of the system and ultimately weaken its effectiveness.

Basically if you can't start visualizing the child or suspect in your head it's probably a hoax.

I almost forwarded this same text but thought about it not having a description and I didn't know who sent it to me so I waited till I got home to check it out.
