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.
