Preventing False Amber Alerts
What causes a false amber alert? Who tells police a story about a child being abducted, when it is not true? In the case of 9 year-old Zane Newton in Bakersfield California it was his 9 year-old playmate that told adults the boy had been abducted while the two boys played in front of Zane's home.
