There will soon be an emergency notification system for missing Black people ages 12 to 25
There will be another public alarm next year to let everyone know when someone has been abducted or gone missing — this one, for young Black people.Bill, which establishes an emergency notification system for missing Black people ages 12 to 25, a demographic that has been historically misrepresented and forgotten when it comes to bringing them back to safety, according to officials.
Amber Alerts started in 1996 after 9-year-old Amber Hagerman was abducted and murdered near her home in Arlington, Texas. It was a partnership between law-enforcement agencies and media broadcasters to quickly notify the public of an abducted child. California signed Amber Alerts into law in 2002. The Ebony Alerts will target those 12 to 25 rather than 17 and younger like Amber Alerts do, Bradford said, because Black young adults who may have been abducted often get less media attention than children would. African American women and men, he added, are just considered “missing” if they disappear at 18 or older., a White woman who was reported missing and was killed by her fiance in 2021, got national, ongoing coverage.
Police departments throughout the state will be able to request that the California Highway Patrol activate Ebony Alert messages and signs in respective areas when Black youth are reported missing under unexplained or suspicious circumstances, are at risk, have developmental disabilities, have cognitive impairments or who have been abducted — with special attention on young women and girls.
