Missing Fremont Teen-Where’s the Amber Alert?

Miloshi Mehta, 15-year old Mission San Jose high school junior went missing on Sunday, August 7, 2011. She was last seen about 8:30 p.m. when she went for a walk around Lake Elizabeth.
 
Miloshi’s family said they suspected she may have walked away to meet a man whom she had corresponded with on the internet. If they had lied, feigned ignorance, or shrugged their shoulders to questions about circumstances surrounding her absence, hinting that she could have been abducted while walking, perhaps an Amber Alert would be flashing on nearby freeway signs. You might be scanning faces of every dark-haired, black eyed teen on the BART, looking for Miloshi, worrying, maybe praying that she would be found unharmed. Since her family told the truth—that she could have been lured away by an internet sexual predator—Amber Alert does not apply.

I hope she’s found unharmed. If not, will a California lawmaker propose a Miloshi Alert to assist in locating teens lured away by internet sexual predators?
