I simply don’t get it. If it were my child, I would want an Amber Alert put out worldwide if they were missing, as most parents would. If there is a fire, earthquake, natural diaster, bombing, outbreak, I wanna know. A) To help and protect my love ones and B) If I could help others. 

People are so self obsessed that they don’t want to be bothered unless it directly happens to them. How pathetic!
