The Ad Council is running public-service annoucements aimed at educating people about Wireless AMBER Alerts, text messages that are sent to mobile subscribers as soon as local law enforcers release AMBER Alerts about missing or abducted children. People can get the alerts by registering at www.wirelessamberalerts.org.
Here are two of the ads about the service:
