instead of 13 year old and pointing it towards you, I should have said young teenager.
so not necessarily your child, but what's wrong with educating a teenager about Amber alerts? not like a person would have to go into graphic detail.
kids are taught about abduction, inappropriate touching and stranger danger from a young age. I don't know why having them aware of and understanding amber alerts would be a big deal.

That's kind of what I was thinking. By 9-13, they likely have a pretty good idea of everything Sliver mentioned just from the tv they consume (though possibly/hopefully not rape) and a parent should have had a conversation or two with them about that kind of stuff. Especially abduction. Along with puberty, comes more "grown up" topics and things to watch out for too.
