An amber alert is issued when a minor (a child) is missing or has been taken or kidnapped. The more people who know to keep an eye out for him or her, the more likely s/he is to be seen, and rescued.

It usually means that someone has been kidnapped. Not necessarily someone you know, just someone in your area.

A missing-child report.

It was named for a girl named Amber
who went missing (see Wikipedia article).

If you see someone you believe might be the child reported missing,
you should call authorities about it.
