I've posted the alert on both Monroe Unfiltered sites, linking back here (more people can see this thread).

If anyone knows of any search parties going on, let us know.

Obviously, our main concern is for the well being of the little girl.  I pray for her safe return.

It is so important that a child learns to tell a responsible adult that they are going outside of the house.  Kids will be kids, but they need to be taught to be alert--that someone who seems nice, may not be very nice at all.

Children, who are not big enough and strong enough to thwart off an adult or teenager, should not be left intentionally unsupervised--EVER, FOR ANY REASON.  Even, in groups with other children, they are not safe.  You cannot be too careful.  There are real, live monsters out there with crazy ideas.

No longer in Florida, California, and where ever--it has raised its ugly head in Monroe, Mi.  Yes, it can happen anywhere, anytime.

In our adult world, we get so wrapped up in the happenings of the day that we sometimes forget our responsibilities to those little ones in our care. 

Ronda, your idea about passing out flyers at the parade was an excellent idea.  A good way to get a lot of people at one time.  And, that may spur them on to help in the search, too.

People are apparently staging at Charlotte Arms Apartments for search.

Why does the MEN have to report it? Monroe Talks has more updated information. Talk about a community watch group...

The city wouldn't authorize any people to come last night and didnt even tell the city employees about what was going on.

  I'm sure people are out of the office, it's a holiday, what bad timing.

It's a newspaper. It should be reporting newsworthy events, such as an Amber Alert.

I know it's a holiday and everything, but the news never sleeps.

Fortunately the community can route around information black holes like this one, but still.

This girl is still missing, we'll deal with the Monroe Evening News (News?? they shouldn't even call themselves NEWS,  Monroe Evening Waste-of-space) after she is found.
BTW, being out of the office is no excuse for not relaying information and this kind of act should be illegal.

13 ABC Toledo did an onsite interview with the mother on the noon news just now...

The little girl was living in the apartments with her mother and grandmother.

In the interview the mother says "her father has been out of the picture for a couple of years now" or words close to that... 

I just checked Ch 13 website and they are still running the video from this morning's news about the amber alert...

I would think they will have the interview with the mom on their website later today...

What I find just absolutley horrifying is the lack of emotions when the majority of these missing kids parent s speak to the media!!  Go ahead and slam me I dont care.  I watched the mother on the news and it appeared to me (and others in the family) that there were no tears?  If that was my child I would be sobbing so hard snot would be mixing with the tears and running off my chin and I would be without words. I wouldnt be able to breathe! Are you kidding me?  Where is the emotion?  I just dont get it and I pray for the little girls safe return.

Thanks. Someone may have seen her and not realized she was missing, so I'm going to hand out some of the posters at the parade, which I need to get into town for right about now.

You can bet I'll be keeping a closer eye on my little ones down there today! Thanks to everyone who's keeping us updated.

She's probably been crying for about 18 hours straight right now...

maybe she is just cried out...

and I'm sure the newspeople coax them to not get too "emotional" during the interview...
