Why do statewide Amber Alerts all come from the Metroplex?

Serious question. The freeway amber alerts I see around Houston are usually missing elderly in the Dallas area.
Now they cut into the Simpsons with a minute long blast about a missing teenager from the Fairview Police Department.

Sucks for the family, but what's going on with a couple little police departments in the DFW area monopolizing a statewide alert system?

Because that's most likely where the kid will be.

Houston is the ground zero for this issue in Texas. As a result, it's one of the biggest cities for human trafficking in the US.

Because 45 and 35 are major interstates and if the police think the driver is going to go south, they have to cover both routes.

I've seen a ton from San Antonio and areas south of there.

Scumbags aren't all located in one metro area. They are all over the place.

When I see one of those alerts, I look around and go, "Welp, I don't see *****" And go on about my day. That's all I can do.

Silver alerts are for older people. Amber alerts are for kids.

It was started in DFW years ago and is now a national thing.

Yes. You're supposed to put on your batsuit and go find them when your phone goes off.

I just turned the alerts off on my phone so they wouldn't bother me.

Goodness. What are the details? Is it a true kidnapping/abduction or did she run off with a boyfriend or something?

Not sure. I don't think the girl lived with her biological parents anymore and they think she may have run off with or was taken by someone she met a behavioral hospital. Apparently she is off medication too.

She was typically a no show for my wife's classes. Skipped a lot and had behavior issues. We don't know anymore than most I imagine. Wife doesn't teach anymore so we don't know much else.

Stopped paying attention when I saw one for a white ford truck with no license plate given. It's like the idiots don't realize that this is Texas.

9 year old in Arlington, TX who was snatched off her bike from behind a grocery store while she was playing with her brother (pretty sure it was her brother). They found her body a few days later in a creek. She had been sexually assaulted and her throat was cut.

Seems like half of them are from the valley.
Let's go, Brandon!

They did find her thankfully somewhere south of Mesquite with another girl. Sounds like runaways.

Someone recognized her from the signs

I think the alerts are great things.

BUT

You'd think with todays technology that the alert could wait until the phone starts moving in the morning to alert. I mean the phone has been on the dock for four hours. I'm sleeping. Not out looking for stolen kids.

99 times out of 100 it's just the Custody Dispute Alert.
