Great news! 13-year-old Cecilia Alvarado, who was reported missing from Houston, has been found safe, and the statewide AMBER Alert has been called off.
The alert, issued after Cecilia was last seen on Tuesday at 10:30 p.m. in the 16000 block of Sunshine Street, Houston, raised concerns about her safety, with law enforcement officials fearing she was with an unknown man and in imminent danger.
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez shared the positive update on social media but didn’t give details about what happened.
However, this incident has sparked discussions online about the proper use of the AMBER Alert system. People are worried that misusing it might affect real emergencies. This concern comes after the recent sad case of Audrii Cunningham, who went missing and was later found dead.
The Alvarado family, respecting their privacy, has chosen not to disclose information regarding the events leading to Cecilia leaving her home. As the community deals with these unsettling events happening too often, authorities are reminding everyone to stay alert and report anything suspicious.
