Earlier today, in Baltimore, Maryland, eight year old Derrick Charles Brown was kidnapped by two men, thrown into the trunk of a car, and hustled away from his friends. An Amber Alert was issued for him, since the kidnapping involved a motor vehicle, and someone actually saw the vehicle described as having been inovolved in this crime, then the person recognized Derrick, as he was being taken from the trunk. Derrick is very lucky, because this person did not mind getting involved, and called the cops and got Derrick rescued. The two men, one of whom is in custody now, thought they were going to lock Derrick in an empty house.
So why am I posting about this? Just to remind everyone that if an Amber Alert has been issued for a child, and you think you have seen a child whose picture and description are the subject of the alert, and possibly the description the a vehicle that may have been used, you have nothing to lose by calling it in. Derrick Brown is safe now, because someone did that for him.
Here's the story about Derrick.
Please do not forget about Kyron Horman, missing from Oregon since June, 2010.
And don't forget about Timothy Pitzen, who has been missing from Illinois since May, 2011.
