Final answer:

To activate the Florida AMBER plan, five conditions must be met, including an abduction of a child under 18 years of age, the belief that the child is in danger, enough descriptive information about the child or abductor, the investigation taking place within 72 hours, and a reasonable belief that public alerting will help locate the child or suspect's vehicle.

Step-by-step explanation:

To activate the Florida AMBER plan, five conditions must be met. These conditions are:

  1. An abduction of a child under the age of 18 years took place.
  2. The law enforcement agency believes that the child is in danger of serious bodily harm or death.
  3. There is enough descriptive information about the child, the abductor, or the suspect’s vehicle to help the public and law enforcement in the search.
  4. The missing child investigation must have taken place within 72 hours from the time the child was reported missing.
  5. Public alerting will help locate the child and the suspect's vehicle promptly, and there must be a reasonable belief that this can be done.

Once all five conditions are met, the Florida AMBER plan is activated, and a statewide alert is issued to notify the public and law enforcement agencies about the missing child.
