It depends on your state laws and your local law enforcement, but most states only allow Silver Alerts for seniors or adults 18+ and AMBER Alerts are only for abducted children 17 and younger. Some states allow Silver Alerts for all ages, while others have age criteria the individual must first meet. Check to see if Silver Alerts are available in your area and what the requirements entail.
