It is all too often that I receive Amber Alerts in my inbox. It is great that the information is getting out to the public quicker because time is of the essense in finding these missing children.

We all need to take a few moments when we get this type of information to share with our friends, family members, co-workers, church members and associates. Use your e-mail account to spread the word as quick as possible. This is a very serious situation that we have to collectively claim control of by doing all we can to find these children and the perpetrator if their is foul play involved.

Please take a look at the Amber Alert for Erica Seeney and pass on as quickly as possible. Look at her photo at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (link below)

Let's all keep our eyes and ears open for any clues on this child and report any and all information you have on any other sad situations like this.

We can't turn our back on our children nor our neighbors. We have to become more proactive - if you see something or hear something suspicious or unusual report it immediately - it could save a life!
