California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a new law that can help track down young people of color who have disappeared.
SACRAMENTO â Amber Alerts have been around for two decades. Since that time, more than 370 children and at-risk individuals have been located. However, some critics say African Americans are often overlooked by the notification system.'You see the difference of when White girls go missing and Black girls go missing,' said Berry Accius, the founder of Voice of the Youth. 'The sense of urgency is not there.
Accius said many young women who vanish end up being victims of sex trafficking.'Here in Sacramento, a lot of our girls get exploited and that's the major concern for me,' he said.In addition to Amber Alerts, California also has Blue Alerts for suspects who attack a law enforcement office, Silver Alerts for missing seniors and people with disabilities, and Feather Alerts for missing indigenous people.
