Amber Alerts Will Appear on Facebook News Feed

Facebook users will soon see issued Amber Alerts on their News Feed, the company said in a news release Tuesday. The alerts, through a partnership with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, won’t trigger phone notifications. Facebook will send alerts to the News Feeds in Facebook users' search areas, a Facebook spokeswoman told us Tuesday. Amber Alerts on Facebook will include such information as a photograph of the missing child, a license plate number, the child’s name and descriptions of the child and the suspected abductor. Facebook users will be able to learn more about a specific alert or share it.
