New Alert Model: Finding Children Lost On the Beach

SAUSALITO, CA (ASRN.ORG) – In Argentina, when a lost child is spotted on the beach, people take the matter into their own hands.  Literally.  When someone sees a child lost on the beach, they begin to clap their hands.  The sound of the clapping immediately spreads to others nearby, and soon everyone in the immediate area is clapping their hands.  The sound is unmistakable.
