Indigo Alert for Vulnerable Kids | Canada News

A Calgary mom is rallying the nation to create an “Indigo Alert” for vulnerable, non-verbal children like Parker, an 11-year-old with autism who went missing — a case that didn’t trigger the existing Amber Alert due to lack of foul play suspicion. With over 14,000 signatures, her petition demands a new system to cover kids at risk due to developmental conditions, not just abduction. Nearly half of autistic children are prone to wandering — and without communication, they’re dangerously vulnerable. Inspired by Parker’s community-driven search and Alberta’s existing Silver Alert for seniors, officials are now reviewing how to expand alert protocols to protect these children faster. This isn’t just about one case — it’s about ensuring every vulnerable child has a fighting chance to be found safely.
