[QUOTE="Billybob, post: 2365198, member: 1294"] House Bill 2227, by state Rep. Joe Dorman, would create a statewide runaway child alert system to be activated on behalf of a missing or runaway child. The legislation was approved by a vote of 94-0 and now advances to the state Senate, where it is being sponsored by state Sen. Mike Schulz (R-Altus). “Although we have an Amber Alert system, that system has many restrictions and does not address some instances when a child has gone missing,” said Dorman, D-Rush Springs. “According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, we see over 800,000 kids annually reported missing nationwide, with about 200,000 of those proven to be abductions by a family member and almost 58,000 abductions done by a person with no relation to the child. This legislation will help with efforts to further curb sex trafficking and to locate missing children who are not covered by the existing Amber Alert system.” “When a student is a runaway, they are oftentimes not breaking any law, especially if it is during the summer and there is no truancy issue,” said Dorman. “We have also worked with law enforcement to make sure this is not an unfunded mandate to hold the runaway until a parent or guardian arrives. In addition, we have made certain this bill addresses incidents in which a child might be fleeing a harmful environment and that the child will not be returned to a dangerous home due to an exit interview conducted by proper authorities.” [url]http://www.okhouse.gov/Media/ShowStory.aspx?MediaNewsID=4613[/url] [/QUOTE]
