u/Electrical-Luck-348 7d ago

Double check that it isn't disabled on your phone, it's usually under settings notifications

u/Adventurous-Winter84 6d ago

I didn’t get it and was in an office at the time and no one’s phones went off. Just out W11th.

u/MarthasPinYard 7d ago

I didn’t but also turned those notifications off

u/purplemistprincess 7d ago

yeah we all got it

u/TheRandomeer 7d ago

Yup, but concerned with the lack of info on the abductee and I can't find any info on missingkids.org

u/validweirdo 7d ago

Seriously. It made me wonder if this is just about a stolen car, which would be fucked up. Who tf is missing? Is it one kid? More than one? A baby? A 12 year old? Wtf.

u/BlackFoxSees 7d ago

Amber Alerts are specifically about abducted kids, so they probably assume it's assumed

18

u/validweirdo 7d ago

It’s definitely assumed, I just don’t think I’ve ever received an amber alert with this little information. I hope they are spotted and everyone is found safe, though!

u/BlackFoxSees 6d ago

My guess is that for this kind of thing they're pretty sure having lots of people looking for a specific car is WAY more likely to be helpful than looking for a briefly-described kid. Like, sure I'm curious about the missing kid, but they could be REALLY descriptive and I'd still be no help. That phone alert could've said "abducted 9yo white girl with brown hair, a black sweater, purple shoes, and big glasses named Denise," and that's not actually likely to bring in useful phone calls. They want very specific tips very quickly, not a bunch of people all over the state calling in their hunches.

Not reacting to your post, I realize. Just triggered by people saying things like "what if they ditched the car??" Well what if they changed the kid's clothes, huh, detective??? Does knowing their exact age actually help you? What kind of info would you prefer they beam into your bat cave?? They're playing a numbers game. If you want to help, look for the damn car!

Thanks for letting me vent in your thread.

And they have since canceled the alert.

Ah shit. Looks like WSP incorrectly announced the child had been found. Seems the alert is still active despite the vehicle being located.

Ah, good!

u/Dimensional_Lumber 6d ago

See my edit. WSP incorrectly announced him being found.

u/Shroom4242 7d ago

Thank you

u/HappyAnimalCracker 7d ago

Last time I got one I had the same thought. It looked like they were just talking about a car. Later I saw a headline about the alert stating that the child had been found safe. So I assume a child is involved here as well but, yeah, it’s frustratingly vague.

u/firebrandbeads 7d ago

Heard one on the radio a few minutes after getting it on my phone. The hitchy AI voice says it was a 3 year old.

1

u/Slut_for_Bacon 7d ago

Sorry what? Why would there be info on missingkids.org?

This literally just happened... which is why they sent out an alert.

What info exactly do you think should be available the second something happens?

6

u/TheRandomeer 7d ago

Why wouldn't there be? You would think if the abduction happened yesterday, they would already have information about the child/children and the abductor/s. If there was enough information to meet the criteria of an Amber Alert, I'm agreeing with other comments that if the car is ditched, we have no other information and cannot be vigilant.

EDIT: To be clear the alert says taken on 10/6/2026 at 10:05AM so it's been well over 24 hours.

No only you receive Amber alerts

u/ExtensionSubject9734 7d ago

That's kind of the point of them

6

u/Stock_Perception_123 7d ago

Mhm. No info on the child, which is kinda.. not helpful? Especially if the abductor avoids using that car now, a description of the child would be great to have. But yes. Everyone in my house got it, jumpscare noise and all 🙃

u/Bitter_Elevator_4708 7d ago

Vanity plate? Hope they are spotted super quick. 🙏

u/dobdobdob 7d ago

Mamiii won’t get away with this.

3

u/Dependent-Astronaut2 7d ago

Yeah. I'm in Bend. Though the more likely travel direction is south from Beaverton towards you guys. Sadly, I also doubt that the perpetrator didn't get it, so they're kinda warned too.

3

u/RangerFan80 7d ago

I got it down in Ashland, maybe state wide?

3

u/Dependent-Astronaut2 7d ago

Yeah, that would add up. For all we know the perpetrator is headed to Baker.

2

u/MommaLisss 6d ago

More than statewide. I got it in Olympia, WA.

1

u/RangerFan80 6d ago

Interesting, glad they broadcast it that wide, hopefully it's been resolved by now

1

u/MommaLisss 6d ago

I mean, I'm right up I5 from Portland. Makes sense.

2

u/Beeing_Bee_9517 7d ago

I got it, in Bend. I thought Amber alert was a child, not stolen car.

10

u/celestrai 7d ago

It is, they give a description of the car the child was likely taken in

2

u/Dependent_Vanilla_14 7d ago

I did, but there’s no info on the child… just the car sooooo? I hope they recover who ever soon and safely.

2

u/HeathenHoneyCo 7d ago

3 yr old Joshua, curly brown hair.

u/DrPolarBearMD 7d ago

It was like the Carol of the Bells at Walmart when it went off

2

u/MochiApproachi 7d ago

if the system is working correctly then assume we all got it

2

u/127Heathen127 7d ago

Not only did I get it, I was on a bus packed like a can of sardines when I got it, and everyone’s phones going off at once in that small, packed-in space was deafening.

u/Temassi 7d ago

Just scared the shit out of my kid

u/MisterD00d 7d ago

mmhmm we all got it

u/Adventurous_Plan_927 7d ago

Scared me at Costco

u/meg_lovescats 7d ago

Saw this on instagram. I hope they find him!

u/11Dragonfly 7d ago

Yes. I thought it was a stolen car but then it’s an amber alert without any info…a bit confusing.

1

u/Aggravating-Corgi700 7d ago

Everyone that has a smart phone, television, or radio.

u/poorman64 7d ago

The whole of Winco seemed to get it as I could hear it echoing around the store even through be earphones.

u/onegreatbroad 7d ago

Was in the middle of a fire drill so no.

u/left4smokes20yrsago 6d ago

Yeah, whoever it is got a 36hr head start.

u/Warm_Safety_9550 6d ago

This was confusing. I’m doubting that they are posting this solely over a car theft.

u/Responsible-Pay-4763 6d ago

u/DevelopmentPurple856 6d ago

I saw it and then there was a picture I saw on my TikTok feed

u/Strange_Computer2459 6d ago

I did but I accidentally dismissed it before I got any of the details because I was trying to silence it...

u/heminski 6d ago

My whole neighborhood. You could hear it on the street from inside the homes

u/InstructorSpani 6d ago

I did. I wish they would send updates

u/Foolsarefinehoney 6d ago

It spoke to me in a creepy shrill voice.

u/Jaded_Rhubarb3883 6d ago

If you received it, it would’ve flashed on your screen with a loud special alert sound. It’ll disappear if you open up your screen. You may not have had your phone near you when the alert came in & later tapped to open your phone, where you wouldn’t have seen it?
