A new missing child alert system, different from the Wisconsin AMBER alert, was announced Thursday. The bill, known as the Prince Act, is named after 5-year-old Prince McCree, who went missing in Milwaukee in 2023, and was also created in response to the disappearance and death of 10-year-old Lily Peters from Chippewa Falls in 2022. The Chippewa Falls Police Department said her case did not meet the criteria for an AMBER alert. To issue an AMBER alert, a child must be 17 years of age or younger, in danger of serious bodily harm or death and the initiating agency must have enough descriptive information about the child, the suspect, and/or the suspect vehicle to believe an immediate broadcast alert will help locate the child. Requests for alerts are often denied.
