    AMBER Alerts Law: Criteria Used to Issue an Alert

    Law enforcement confirms that an abduction has occurred;
    The child is 17 years old or younger;
    The child is at risk of serious injury or death; and.
    There’s enough descriptive information about the child, the captor, or the captor’s vehicle to issue an alert.

    Update: The boy was found safe as of 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.

    I agree with you that an Amber Alert would have helped. But unfortunately Amber Alerts are only used if the police believe an abduction took place. In this case, it appears the boy wandered off by himself.
