A Calgary mother has launched a public campaign calling for the creation of "indigo alerts" to improve the search process for missing vulnerable children. The initiative comes amid an ongoing search in Calgary for a missing boy with autism.
The proposed alert system aims to secure faster public notification for missing children who are considered vulnerable, even in cases where there is no evidence that an abduction has taken place. Currently, traditional emergency alerts often have strict criteria regarding proof of abduction before they can be broadly disseminated.
The campaign highlights gaps in current missing persons protocols for vulnerable populations. By advocating for these specialized alerts, the mother seeks to mobilize the community more rapidly to help locate at-risk children before harm can occur.
