What happened

What happened to the person needing to be "missing" for three days before a amber alert is issued not just a few hours

The mother abducted the child. Meaning that she didn't/ wasn't supposed to have the child. It's a known thing and with children it's different. An adult of 18+ usually has the basic knowledge to live, where to get food or how to get it with/out money, how to find shelter etc.

Not for children

leafs317 said "What happened to the person needing to be "missing" for three days before a amber alert is issued not just a few hours "

I think that criteria may be for adults, not for a child or vulnerable adult.

criteria
12/3/2016 at 12:01 PM

This meets the Amber alert criteria because they had a description and licence plate of the vehicle, and of the person who took her. They believed her to be at risk for serious injury or harm even though she was with her mother. That is when it makes sense to blitz the media and the public with the information so that the child can be found right away. TheAmber alert is used to immediately alert the public because they believe it will help recover the child.

And, it worked exactly the way it is intended to work.

They said on the news last night that the mother was not to be in contact with her daughter and had no custody of her daughter. The mother was also traveling in an stolen truck. Those were probably some reasons why an amber alert was issued.
