(MOBILE, Ala.) December 20 -- Many shoppers are flooding the stores with their kids in tow, but that could be a problem. It only take a second for a predator to snatch them. That's why some stores around Mobile have the Code Adam system in place.
Academy Sports and Outdoors is one of them. Employee Angela Harris says she and her colleagues have used the system a few times this holiday season. "I think it was Sunday that we had a little girl that wandered away from her mother and we ended up finding her on the bicycle aisle."
Code Adam is named after Adam Walsh, the six-year old, who was abducted from a Florida Mall in 1981. He was ultimately murdered. His father, John Walsh, now hosts Americas Most Wanted. The system is simple -- once a parent reports a child missing, an code adam alert is announced over the store's PA system.
