GREENWOOD, Ind. — A statewide Silver Alert has been canceled for a missing 1-year-old boy in Greenwood, who was believed to be with a 23-year-old woman.
The Greenwood Police Department confirmed 1-year-old Jaxon Martin and 23-year-old Daiana Mitchell were both found safe Monday.
Police said Martin was last seen Monday, Oct. 17 at 3:30 a.m.
The Silver Alert was issued Monday shortly before 9:30 a.m. and was canceled around 12:15 p.m.
Amber Alert vs. Silver Alert: What's the difference?
There are specific standards a person's disappearance must meet in order for police to declare an Amber Alert or a Silver Alert.
Amber Alerts are for children under the age of 18 who are believed to have been abducted and in danger. Police also need to have information about a suspect and their car to issue an Amber Alert.
Silver Alerts are for missing and endangered adults or children. They are much more common for missing people. It was not until last year when the standards for Silver Alerts were expanded to include children.
In both situations, these alerts must be issued by police.
