A powerful legacy plan was created. In 1996, 9 year-old Amber Hagerman was a little girl who was kidnapped and brutally murdered while riding her bike in Arlington, Texas. Among the community, where Amber resided were shocked and outraged residents when they had heard the worst of the bad news about Amber.

For instance, the two Mexican American females who didn't feel like being at church one night had decided to...
Amber Alert System
If a child is abducted, it's primarily the abductor's fault who should be caught and punished. However expensive the amber alert system may be, it's less that the value of a child's life. Parents should do whatever they can to protect their children and so should society. The amber alert system which was put in place by society is one important safeguard to protect children.
