Missing Vulnerable Kids Need Faster Alerts | Calgary News

A nationwide emergency alert system for missing vulnerable children is gaining momentum after the heartbreaking case of 11-year-old Parker Wells, an autistic, non-verbal boy whose disappearance went unnoticed by Amber Alerts due to lack of abduction suspicion. Spearheaded by MP Michelle Rempel Garner, the petition seeks to empower police to instantly notify the public when any vulnerable child is at risk — regardless of whether foul play is suspected. With over 36,000 signatures already backing a provincial “Indigo Alert” initiative led by a mother of a non-verbal autistic child, politicians including Pierre Poilievre and Danielle Smith are rallying behind reform. Law enforcement and officials acknowledge that current systems fail to address wandering children with disabilities — a gap that could cost lives. Every moment matters, and urgent changes are being demanded to prevent future tragedies. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
