But the prior way was no forced messaging to everyone that has a phone, which led to only people watching TV or listening to radio when a child was abducted being notified.

I'm sure they have an astronomically higher chance of getting that critical tip by messaging nearly the entire population with thousands of people going out of their way to make sure emergency services can't disturb them vs the millions not being reached before phone alerts.
