AMBER ALERT update

RCMP confirm the vehicle carrying three-year-old Alvin and 39-year-old Robert Barnet has crossed into the USA. RCMP say they're in a blue 2002 Subaru Outback with a BC license plate #347SBL.

and yet many times over we've seen it used in parental "abductions" which were not life threatening; suspicions cry out that this isn't a life threatening case either (since he left the country)

Criminal don't drive Subaru's.

And what makes this case special? Shit like this and worse happens on a daily basis. Not to say it isn't worthy of attention, just sayin.

Well we might as well keep an eye out for the car? Regardless of the situation, the kid was unlawfully taken from their guardian...

Surprised they don't have a picture of the adult who took the kid.

Apparently the child is believed to be in imminent danger...I don't know why but that's what the Amber Alert said in the U.S.

Must be some kind of danger if RCMP is telling you not to even approach them.

that's what they always tell you regardless of the issue

they don't want heroes who end up causing more problems

he's long gone now anyhow, it's been 7hrs+ since he crossed into the usa he could be anywhere

Judge probably denied joint custody favoring the mother, though I can appreciate the father's ambition to be there for his son growing up, it's just a shame that he had to resort to this way of getting that.

...Or he's mentally ill and does not have the capacity to raise a child and may not even know why he's taken his son away. I cannot appreciate the father's "ambition."

If a judge has ruled that this man is not fit for custody of the child, there has to be some rather serious reasons for this decision. The court's priority is to come up with a parenting plan that allows the family to stay as close together with the children as possible and if he's been denied custody then it's usually for good reason. Ambition lol.

so they've broadcast the alert to all western us states interesting...

I can't watch TV because they keep poppin' the Amber Alert on. It literally changes the channel, plays the message for 2 minutes, then flips back to your channel. 6 minutes later, same thing...for the last 1.5hrs.

Washington and Idaho are their areas on interest right now I believe.

Saw AMBER ALERT all over the Bus and Skytrain LCD displays today when I was coming home from work.

yea heard it on the radio
