Remember the “have you seen me?” kids on the milk cartons back in the 80s? I think those were advertisements! Then, in the 90s they switched over to A_mber A_lerts. This is run by DOJ with help from the Podesta Group.
The Podesta Group and Amber Ready, Inc.
In May 2009, Amber Ready, Inc., selected the Podesta Group as their agency of record to be their PR company, covering all media relations, and building a campaign to promote Amber Ready’s cell phone technology. The program enables parents to create, store and lock their children’s Alert profiles in parent’s wireless phones so that if a child goes missing, police can transmit the Alert Profiles in minutes via Amber Alert. Then-Principle of the Podesta Group Ed Rothschild, stated “Working with AMBER Ready to help inspire nationwide support for their innovative child safety solution should prove to be very exciting and gratifying.” [emphasis added]
And Laura Silsby (convicted of trafficking children from Haiti) is also involved. After she was convicted of trafficking...
Silsby returned to Idaho where she married in 2015, and took the last name Gayler. She became the Vice President of Marketing for AlertSense who works with the federal government on FEMA’s Integrated Public Alert & Warning System (IPAWS), including the Amber Alerts when kidnappings occur.
