Recently Facebook has teamed up with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to help incorporate Amber Alerts into the Facebook user system. From now on Facebook users will be immediately notified of missing children in their area. This system should help prevent children from being abducted and abused or murdered.

I think that it is great that a social network is taking advantage of its position in peoples' everyday lives to help find children who are in danger. Since the system is based off a social network it will be very efficient and will probably save many children's lives. The system should be put into place soon. I think that the system will also be a great way to make parents more sure about the safety of their children. Now, if their child does get abducted, there will be a system that could possibly help them get their child back.
Overall, I think that this partnership will end up saving a lot of children's lives and will help prevent children from being abused by abductors.
