active amber alert 4/17

[teramiabullfrog]

a Pennsylvania Amber Alert has been activated for Alexis Roadside (see Amber Alert Ticker for details).

And, once again, if the annually federal funded "NALC/USPS CHILD ALERT PROGRAM" functions at the level of efficiency it is intended and instructed within 24 hours of the reported missing child, every Post Office in the country should have a missing child notice displayed in the Post Office box section of the facility and in the workroom floor area so postal carriers can view it before and after their routes.

anyone, who wants to help with our (FINDING OUR CHILDREN UNDER STRESS {F.O.C.U.S.} Organization study, go to your local library, see if they have any display of missing children notices, send me a message including zip code, how many and date of the missing children notices on display.

the MAC SHACK is is named in honor of an unsung hero of the "born-in-the-first half of-1900's" generation. a man from pioneer of the west heritage (grandparents traveled from the east coast to the west coast by horse drawn wagon, and settled in what-s-now las vegas). his mother has an entire section of the Lyon County, NV Heritage Museum dedicated and named in her honor. for over seventy years this man devoted his lifetime path to amateur radio and civilian defense. he coordinated the radio communication from the Yukon to the lower 48, during world war 2 - he helped establish the radio communication between six "RADIO SHACKS" built along the route of the ALCAN HIGHWAY, while he served in the U.S. Army Signal Corp. After WW2, he devoted his civilian life to local Amateur Radio Clubs, where he lived, and to Civilian Defense. He always was the one who coordinated the simulated catastrophic disaster emergency radio net system, establishing radio communication from an amateur radio operator inside the simulated disaster area, out to radio "hams" outside the disaster area, relaying messages about needed emergency aid: medical, food needs, water, and transportation. He helped form and then coordinated the Alaskan Emergency Catastrophic Disaster Net System. He was commemorated for coordinating the 1996 Simulated Alaska Catastrophic Disaster, emergency amateur radio club civilian defense net system. That Simulated Disaster's emergency radio system became the model for the actual Catastrophic Disasters that have occurred since then, including "911", the tsunami, and Katrina. the man who the F.O.C.U.S. Organization both dedicated, and named, their MAC SHACK PROGRAM after - who's mission is to help maximize the efficiency to both find and prevent missing children, is known to his amateur radio friends (from everywhere in the world) as "silent-key" W6NBD "mac"".

oh well two heads are always better than one

[teramiabullfrog]

the search continues for four year old alexis roadside. does anyone know how to find out if the federal program (NALC/USPS CHILD ALERT PROGRAM) has been activated so the relatives of this missing child will have the comfort of knowing that all that can and is suppose to be done to find this missing child is being done? has the NCMEC sent out e-mailed missing child posters of alexis roadside to all the Post Offices in country so they can be displayed for both the general public in the post office box lobby area of the post office and in the workroom floor area where the postal carriers can view them? today volunteers of the F.O.C.U.S. Org. traveled around to numerous post offices in states on the west coast and found no Postal Bulletin missing child posters on display.

[teramiabullfrog]

4/21 the amber alert for alexis roadside, (pennsylvania), remains active. volunteers of the Finding Our Children Under Stress (F.O.C.U.S.) Organization have not been able to find any Emergency Broadcast E-Mail Postal Bulletin's displayed in any Post Office's on the west coast. Once again, the NALC/USPS CHILD ALERT PROGRAM is not being managed according to the original intent, instructions, and annual funding. The Amber Alert would become even more efficient if this Federal Program functioned as intended.

[teramiabullfrog]

the search for alexis roadside (pennsylvania) continues. per Code Amber policy (no new information after five days) she has been removed from the Amber Alert ticker; however, she remains as one of the unsolved active cases (currently there are eight cases in this category).

every time an amber alert is activated the Finding Our Children Under Stress (F.O.C.U.S.) Organization contacts the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and reminds them about the NALC/USPS CHILD ALERT PROGRAM (an annually federal funded program), and how the Amber Alert would be even more efficient if the NALC/USPS CHILD ALERT PROGRAM was done at the efficiency level it is intended and instructed: "within 24 hours of the missing child report every post office in the country should have the missing child poster on display in the "box" lobby section of the post office and in the workroom floor area where letter carriers can view it before and/or after their routes". F.O.C.U.S. Org. has never received a reply back from NCMEC or the Code Amber Org. (or from any of the many federal elected politicians or federal agencies responsible for managing the federal missing children laws and programs that F.O.C.U.S. has mailed and e-mailed this info).

THE MISSING AND THEIR FAMILIES ARE THE VICTIMS OF A CATASTROPHIC DISASTER!

THE MISMANAGEMENT OF THE FEDERAL LAWS AND FEDERAL PROGRAMS DEVELOPED TO HELP FIND AND PREVENT MISSING PERSONS, ARE TO THE MISSING AND THEIR FAMILIES, WHAT THE MISMANAGEMENT OF WALTER REED HOSPITAL IS TO THE WOUNDED VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES!

[teramiabullfrog]

the amber alert for Alexis Roadside (PA) was successful. She was located and the suspect taken into custody in Miami FL. (started on the 16th).

yesterday i spent over an hour typing a "comment" the FOCUS Org. submitted to the NCMEC web page, and lost it in cyberspace. i'll take the time and try again, later. a lot to do about the seven still active amber alerts, and if the NCMEC activated the NALC/USPS CHILD ALERT PROGRAM? if they did, the Missing Child Postal Bulletin Notices were not displayed in any of the 30 Post Offices FOCUS volunteers checked here on the west coast.

now, i'm traveling from Windsor, CA to Sausalito, stopping in every town along hwy 101, stopping at the town Post Offices(s) and leaving a 3-ring binder display of over 100 active missing person cases. many of the post offices have the 2006 binder still on display (we replace it with the 07 updated if missing was found, binder). some postal employees have been told to remove the binder, even though it contains copies of the missing child Postal Bulletin Notices, which are suppose to be displayed in every Post Office according to the 1/19/96 Presidential Memorandum directing the management for the federal program, and creating the language for the instructions for managing the program.

as promised, or threatened (ever how you look at this), i'll attempt to retype and submit what i sent as a comment and question to the NCMEC, only to have it lost in cyberspace when i tried to submit it on CL.

currently there are eight active amber alert cases:
Bryan Dessantos Gomes (FL)
Edwin Sanchez Gonzales (NC)
Joliet Cedano (CA)
Danielle Jiminez (TX)
Reachelle Smith (ND)
Jesus Martinez Alvarado (TX)
Laura & Jonathon Arciniega (CA)
there was an amber alert activated in NC for Junni Angel Rios, yesterday; but, it's been cancelled. Junni was found safe at an aunts house, the suspect Jorge Angel Hernandez remains at large.

volunteers of the Finding Our Children Under Stress (F.O.C.U.S.) Organization have stopped at over one hundred post offices, during 2007 (since 1993 they've stopped at over two thousand post offices {while traveling and distributing missing children posters in eight western states, and one east coast state}). they have found less than one per cent of the post offices have any type missing person (child) Postal Bulletin Missing Children Notices on display. this was not the intent of the 1/19/96 Presidential Memorandum that established and directed the management and instructions for this important annually funded, federal, national, Program to help find missing persons (children). the following is quoted from a comment and question submitted to the NCMEC (on 4/26/07):

"currently, there are eight active amber alerts (named above). Did you (NCMEC) activate the emergency "e-mailed missing child bulletin, the supplement to the NALC/USPS CHILD ALERT PROGRAM", for any of these eight children?

Have they been included in any of your monthly printed Missing Children Postal Bulletin Notices?

Volunteers of the F.O.C.U.S. Organization (a 501(c)(3)) have been into Post Offices in seven western states, over the past several months, and have found no (zero) missing child Postal Bulletin Notice's display, in the "post office box lobby, not the retail section", as described in the Missing Children Poster Display Instructions, printed on the back of every one of the multiple photo Postal Bulletin Notices, every month, of any of these eight children).

These federal programs and federal laws created and established to maximize the efficiency for finding and preventing missing children, need to be managed so they function at the level of efficiency they are intended. So, they accomplish the search effort for missing persons - that the NALC/USPS CHILD ALERT PROGRAM was created and developed to accomplish.

On behalf of over four million relatives of missing children we ask you to please manage the "MISSING CHILDREN POSTER DISPLAY INSTRUCTIONS" (printed on the back of every Postal Bulletin Notice you've printed since 1996).

The sudden change in the language for these INSRUCTIONS (the wording), on the 10/26/06 Missing Child Postal Bulletin Notice, both strengthened and weakened an already under-utilized Program. It strengthened it, if the Program was managed at the level of efficiency it is intended, instructed, and federally funded. E-mailing emergency broadcast missing child bulletins, rather than fax them definitely improves and strengthens this program; if, it was actually done. Less than one per cent of the over-two thousand post offices checked in eight western states had any display of missing child Postal Bulletin's and the five that did have some displayed had notices from over two years ago, and all but three of the thirteen displayed had been found (but not marked as such). Deleting the wording (in the INSTRUCTIONS), "displaying the Postal Bulletin's in the workroom floor area of the Post Office", weakens the intent of this already under-utilized federal Program; however, adding the wording, "so the postal carriers can view the missing children posters before and after their postal routes, is consistent with the NALC/USPS CHILD ALERT PROGRAM" strenthens it. BUT again, it has to actually be done, in order for the Program to accomplish it's mission and original objective.

F.O.C.U.S. Organization volunteer have been into over 2,000 Post Offices, while traveling through nine states (eight western and one east coast state), and found less than one per cent of the Post Offices maintain an active display of the monthly NCMEC printed and approved, Missing Child Postal Bulletin Notices.

The missing and their relatives are the victims of a catastrophic disaster - to them, the mismanagement of the federal laws and federal programs pertaining to missing persons (children), is the same as the mismanagement of Walter Reed Hospital and Veterans Programs is to wounded veterans and their family.

These messages (comments and questions) to the NCMEC, are being recorded and posted in various missing children forum sites. Some already appear in historical archive files. Eventually, you will be accountable for managing these federal laws and federal programs according to their original intent. you need to confront the federal elected politicians and federal agencies responsible for managing the written instructions. And, they will have to improve the level of efficiency of these laws and national programs, so they function according to the original intent, instructions, and annual federal funding.

F.O.C.U.S. Org. has been trying to inform you (NCMEC) of their findings, for years. They've sent letters, e-mails, and phone calls, and you've never replied back. It's an easy communication fix that will make the NALC/USPS CHILD ALERT PROGRAM work the way it's intended."

-------------------
the above is what was sent to the NCMEC, on the section of their web site titled "comments". Now it's recorded there and here on CL. eventually, historically, someone will look back and say "why the hell didn't they fix those programs the way they were intended to work, they would have found a lot of the missing quicker, and kept a lot of children from being abducted in the first place".

[teramiabullfrog]

eight active amber alert cases continue on this date. as one of the many Finding Our Children Under Stress (F.O.C.U.S.) Organization volunteers, i just returned from an eight day missing person (children) flyer distribution trip. 3-ring binders containing flyers of over 100 missing persons (children) were left at 32 Post Offices around the north San Francisco Bay Area and along hwy. 80 from Oakland to Martinez and south along hwy 580 from Concord to Pleasanton.

NOT ONE POST OFFICE HAD ANY TYPE DISPLAY OF MISSING CHILD POSTAL BULLETINS -

NONE OF THE EIGHT AMBER ALERT VICTIMS MISSING CHILD NOTICES WERE ON DISPLAY WITH EMERGENCY BROADCAST E-MAILS (AS IS INSTRUCTED IN THE "NALC/USPS CHILD ALERT PROGRAM").

F.O.C.U.S. Organization did not receive a reply back from the NCMEC - regarding their comment sent to NCMEC last week (see previous post on this forum).

[dallasvic]

I just now found the post. I am new here and there has been a few Amber Alerts and so far so good they have been found. I am going to get my mail at the PO in the morning and will definitely check to see if we have posters up and will let you know tomorrow evening what I found out.Out of all the missing just finding one is worth it !!
My Prayers Are With All The Families With Missing Loved Ones

[teramiabullfrog]

eight missing children amber alerts remain active across the country today; yet, none of the over 2,000 Post Offices checked (in eight western states and one east coast state) had any of those eight missing child Amber Alert cases on display in the Post Office "box" lobby as instructed in the NALC/USPS CHILD ALERT PROGRAM (NALC - national association of letter carriers - the NALC/USPS CHILD ALERT PROGRAM is an annually funded program created and developed after a 1/19/96 Presidential Memorandum was signed, directing all buildings owned or controlled by the federal government to maintain a display area where the public can view missing person notices.

This NALC/USPS CHILD ALERT PROGRAM, along with most of the other federal missing person laws and programs, is mismanaged and under-utilized.

[teramiabullfrog]

no new amber alerts appear on the ticker today; however, eight active amber alerts remain open cases. we did receive an e-mail from the communication director of the Amber Code (linda spagnoli) who said she's, "asked the NCMEC for help on this one" (referring to the mismanagement of the NALC/USPS CHILD ALERT PROGRAM - at least in the 8 western states and one east coast state our volunteers have checked). perhaps something will actually be done to give comfort to the relatives of the missing in knowing all the federal laws and federal programs developed to find missing persons is being done.

My Prayers Are With All The Families With Missing Loved Ones

thank-you so much, on behalf of the families of the missing we appreciate your help with our research of Post Offices and the management (or, more like mismangement) of the NALC/USPS CHILD ALERT PROGRAM.

[teramiabullfrog]

no new amber alerts appear on the amber code web site ticker; however, there remains 8 active amber alerts, across the country (all over five days, therefore do not appear on the ticker). as mentioned in another post, the director of communication for Amber Code did contact me and say she was in communication with NCMEC regarding coordinating the NALC/USPS CHILD ALERT PROGRAM printing of emergency broadcast e-mails of missing children (to be displayed in every post office in the country) with Amber Alert's (therefore, within 24 hours of activation of an Amber Alert every post office in the country will have a flyer of the missing victim displayed in the post office lobby).
