Because they go off in the middle of the night for someone who went missing 300 miles away. That is not an exagerration. Narrow the geographic range and exclude custody disputes unless there's some indication the child is in imminent danger.

I don't know what the solution is really. I mean, I get that someone can get on an interstate and be 100 miles away quickly. And despite my prejudice in disregarding the hispanic ones, I don't think you can eliminate using AAs for that.

If there was some quick way to label the alerts as non-familial, I think that would help a little. I think people immediately know the significance of that.

In fairness, by the time your phone goes off they might actually be 300 miles away. That's a little over 4 hours at interstate speed.
