Sure, for you, but for many, that's simply not feasible.
We're in the same boat. ^^^
My wife and I look after our elderly parents. They live on their own and all wear Philips Lifeline pedants with fall detection. We can't turn our phones off.

To all you whining about being woken up at 4 am by an Amber Alert: isn't it worth it to help a child being abducted and maybe murdered? I think it is. It's not like it happens every week.
Lol love this. I think we all get that finding missing kids is incredibly important, but they don't even try to geotarget this stuff. I know it's POSSIBLE to get from Ottawa to Toronto in 4/5 hours, but seriously unlikely. It's a dumb and disruptive system.
The idiocy of this comment was lost on you?
HOW is waking someone up at 4AM in any way going to "help" find a missing child
It is stupid and annoying for no real purpose
Child disappeared at (acc to media) 11:15PM
So instead of sending a localized alert (eg a midnight buzz to ONLY people in Ottawa area)
Keystone cops wait 5 hours later (when noone is outside and vast majority of province is asleep)
THEN send the alert (twice of course, because people in province need an english and french alert)
I get that selfish fucks care more about their beauty sleep than a child's life.
I get the strawman does not want to back up his argument lol
Cmon big guy, explain to us HOW sending an alert 5 hours after kid is missing at 4AM when vast majority of population is asleep and most are located hundreds of km away from crime will help in any way?
Article in BN this morning making anyone complaining about it to be some sort of a heavy. Nobody points out that Amber alerts could go to only LE and first responders in the middle of the night. Who the hell else is in a position to do anything about Amber at 4AM anyway?
There are about 14 million people in Ontario. They all lose 1 hour sleep because they were woken up by the Amber Alert, on the chance that maybe 1 person has info that could lead to the rescue of an abducted child. Typically, if an abductee is not found within 48 hours, they will not be found alive. So, time is crucial. They can't wait until 10 AM when most people are awake. One child's life is worth more than 14 million hours of lost sleep. I can't explain it any simpler than that.
That is the equivalent of 7000 people years of work assuming the 40 hours X 50 weeks.
Even at 14 bucks an hour that is almost 200 million dollars
No, no it's not.
And did you get up get dressed go outside and look around your neighborhood for her? I’m guessing you did not. did you spot her in your bedroom? and did any of the 14 million people in Ontario spot her in their bedrooms?
If you want to Participate by all means do so but for those of us who don’t too want to give us the option to turn it off
Safe and sound, no details though. Maybe the real story is going to be really embarrassing for somebody...
