I cannot keep track of all these alerts. It seems like each state has its own alert system that is really just focused on having an alert applicable to any person. AMBER, Silver, Gold, Ebony, Blue, Yellow, Indian, Purple, ... its ridiculous. In my opinion, this just makes it so that no alert really mattes. Everyone just wants to be featured with some alert. Anyway, because of this ridiculousness, I ofter wonder, "what the heck is this alert?" For instance, why would a young person be featured in a Silver alert?

Answer: In this case, some mental issue.

Detail:
Activation of the Silver Alert System [in Arkansas] may be initiated at the request of Arkansas sheriffs and police chiefs based on confirmed law enforcement reporting that a missing person can be considered as the subject of an alert if the individual:

1. has been adjudicated by a court to be incapable of managing his or her own personal affairs (i.e. through a guardianship proceeding); or
2. has a documented diagnosis of a mental illness, injury or other condition causing the person to be incapable of making personal care decisions; or
3. is strongly suspected, by that person’s caregiver or family member, to be afflicted with some form of dementia.

I get it too, hopefully that just means she's safe and they've pulled the alert. I've seen news stations do that before.
