MIDWEST CITY -- Midwest City police said an Amber Alert issued Thursday was likely the result of a hoax of a foster mother who said three children were taken at gunpoint.

Police initially arrested the foster mother -- Carmen Hipshire -- on a complaint of interfering with a police investigation. Police said they'll ask that she be charged with falsely reporting a crime causing an Amber Alert to be issued.

Hipshire had told police the biological parents of the three children had taken them at gunpoint.

Police said the parents are Rhonda Anderson and Marcel Bonds, and they are now considered victims in the case.

We need better laws on Amber Alert, To stop this abuse of the system..

[tiawah466]

The laws are there, the lady who did it is getting charged with a crime. Everytime this has happened the offender has been charged with a crime of some sort. I think that one of the ideas of the Amber Alert is rapid notification, this kind of rules out doing a lot of investigating to verify if it is real or not.
