This makes me wonder what the deal is. Is this descriptive becoming more common in suspected, non-stranger/parental abductions overall now, or are they using it b/c they aren't sure if it's him, or does it indicate he has a possibly violent or predatory history? Anyone know?

I wondered the exact same thing at 5am when the Amber Alert came across my phone. We were talking about it at at the meeting I was at this morning. Was there a restraining order against him, was he violent, a drug addict? Who knows? But one thing we all agreed on was that even though we were annoyed at being woken up so early in the morning, the alerts coming across the phones probably contributed to her being found so quickly.

I don't know about Android phones, but with iPhones you can go into Settings, then Notifications and if you scroll down to bottom you can turn on Amber Alerts.
 
She was found about twenty minutes away from where I was this morning. Really curious as to what's up with dad.

20 min, huh? Isn't that a weird feeling? I receive them on my cell, too. Like you, I'm so used to reading them that I found the particular wording of this one odd, too. Since she's *thankfully* been found safe and sound, we might not get a follow up on the situation, but there has to be some reason they listed her as an endangered child.
