Alberta Reviews Amber Alert After Parker Wells Tragedy | Calgary News

from Calgary News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Alberta is launching a sweeping review of its Amber Alert system after the tragic death of 11-year-old Parker Wells, an autistic boy who vanished from a Calgary day home — sparking a massive two-week search that included Disney music to lure him out. Found days later trapped in an underground pipe system, Parker’s case exposed critical delays and raised urgent questions about alert protocols. Officials are now consulting law enforcement, disability advocates, and community groups to overhaul how alerts are issued — especially in non-traditional abduction scenarios — while Calgary police conduct their own internal audit to prevent future tragedies.
