  1. It’s good news they found him. :)

  2. I was made aware of this situaiton by a dear friend. I am shocked that an Amber Alert was not issued.Bryston is a child and as such all resources should have been used to find him. A missing child is harrowing for any parents. A missing child for whom all resrouces are not put into motion must be even more hellish for the family.

  3. Your prayers were answered :)

  4. amber alert is there for a reason use it for all children not just a few

  17. Amber alert should have been issued ASAP! ….and now you wait four days to let the community know….if I was his parent I would be so mad!

  18. No Amber Alert because he doesn’t fit the criteria? I have a Crim degree. 12 is the “magic” age for a # of youth related issues, but I can’t understand this….anyone know what the criteria is?

  19. How can anyone say its not an AMBER alert, its a CHILD, make it an AMBER ALERT via FACEBOOK because you care and are not tied in the policy of the almighty criteria.. who make the rules..

  20. Anytime a child is missing, there should be an Amber alert issued immediately!

  21. It is an amber alert , u fcking idiots

  22. An Amber alert was not issued last September for a little 9 year old girl because it didn’t meet the criteria and she was found deceased in Sundre , Alberta.
