    Now before you get angry, my problem isn’t with wireless amber alerts. I think we can all agree, anything that helps rescue a kidnapped child is a good thing. What bothers me is a flaw in the advertisement’s logic.

    If an abducted child is everyone’s child, then that child also belongs to the abductor, meaning the child was never abducted in the first place.

    That is a troubling thought, so I fixed the wording. It’s a little less elegant but much clearer.
