Texas uses the term “unwilling” in the statute for ages 14 through 17 years of age. This addresses part of the lure away issue and the boyfriend/girlfriend situation.

It is effective as a whole. There are always the in between circumstances. I prefer the vagueness in the statute wording to allow some flexibility.

We use a regional network that allows us to alert specific regions too. The 2 networks compliment each other very well for us.
