Donna Norris (born 1967) has been a child safety campaigner since the murder of her 9-year-old daughter Amber Hagerman in 1996. Amber (November 25, 1986 - January 15, 1996) was a victim of abduction and murder. On January 13, 1996, she was riding her bike near her grandparents' home in Arlington, Texas when she was kidnapped. Her murder inspired the creation of the AMBER Alert system and the "Amber Hagerman Child Protection Act" (which was not passed). Among the sections of the bill was one that would create a national sex offender registry. Norris was present when President Bill Clinton signed into law the bill, known as Megan's Law, creating the US national sex offender registry. Norris said of the alerts that "It's bittersweet because Amber has saved so many children's lives so far," Norris said. "It's awesome, it's great, but I can't help but think what if there was an Amber Alert when she went missing?" Norris has campaigned for stricter laws regarding sex offenders and testified before Congress in order for a nationwide sex offender database and registry to be formed. She sits on the Board of Directors for The Tiponi Foundation, a charity which helps families of missing children. She is a partner in Amber Child Safety Systems, LLC since January 2010. ==See also== *Megan's Law *Sex offender registries in the United States 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Donna Norris」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
