All of them were familial abductions, and one of them did result in a homicide, when the biological father of an year-old girl murdered her. Griffin: That case illustrates something very powerful about how we think about Amber Alerts.
That case is actually quite unusual in that a family member murdered the child. The abductor murders the ex-girlfriend, they murder the ex-wife, they murder some other custodial parent, but the child is safe.
I think this case shows that the most important variable in determining the fate of an abducted child is not anything that law enforcement does in response, or that citizens can do. The biggest factor determining the fate of that abducted child is what the perpetrator intends to do. The safe recovery of the child is always our number-one goal. And by putting out an Amber Alert, we want the public to help us with that. Of the 12 children abducted in Ontario in , 11 were returned. How many were returned safely as a direct result of the Amber Alert?
We no longer need the alert. Please cancel it. My curious mind wants to know whether the Amber Alert directly resulted in the recovery of the child, but the OPP is not usually the investigating agency. In one case last year, a mother abducted her son, and several hours later, they were found eating lunch at a Kentucky Fried Chicken about kilometres from where the abduction took place.
Two people behind the counter saw the Amber Alert, saw them sitting there eating lunch and called the police, who went in and made the arrest. These kids are making it home safely anyway—the Amber Alert had nothing to do with it. In your intuitive take on the data in Ontario, is that roughly the same?
