See for yourself:

I almost scrolled right passed it since it was by the status alert section at the top. I just thought it was just another message coming in. As soon as I saw “Amber Alert” clicked on the link immediately. 

You see I have a daughter that is 5 right now and every time I see an Amber Alert my heart stops. I can’t help it. As a parent it’s the one thing I would never wish on anyone. To see this on MySpace caught me off guard a bit. I just didn’t expect to see something like that here.

However, I must admit with the popularity of MySpace and other social media platforms this is the fastest way to get information out to the general public. I took this screen shoot of the actual message and put it on my Twitter page.

After posting it on Twitter the picture had over 40 views with in a couple of minutes. People also started to retweet it and spread the word. The girl went missing yesterday March 23rd. 

I’m not sure how long MySpace has been doing this public service but Koodos to MySpace for setting up this Amber Alert on their network. Other social media platforms should follow suit.
