My question. Why didn't the shelter notify the police of a child??
If the child was with an adult, do they not check ID's to be sure the child BELONGS with the adult?

Updated 6:40 p.m.: FAIRBANKS - An 8-year-old North Pole girl missing for about 18 hours was found safe Friday afternoon at a Fairbanks shelter, according to Alaska State Troopers.
Makayla Lady was last seen at 11 p.m. Thursday at her North Pole home, which is in the area of Marigold Road and Badger Road.
Troopers say the girl walked away from the home. Her parents last saw her when she was wearing pajamas.
Four teams of dogs and handlers from the Fairbanks PAWS search and rescue unit were been called to the area Friday afternoon. An Alaska Wildlife Trooper was flying the community in a trooper helicopter, and two trooper investigators were on the scene, according to a trooper news release.
No other information was immediately available about the girl’s recovery. It was not clear how she ended up at the Fairbanks shelter, how long she had been there, or which shelter it was.
Troopers said Friday afternoon, when asking for the public’s help to find the child, that they had received reports of at least two possible sightings of the girl. In those reports, a girl was reported to be wearing a brown sweater and carrying a pink purse while walking alone in the area of Badger Road, near of Bradway Road and Becky Lane, early Friday.
A trooper news release Friday evening said the agency received a tip that the girl was at the shelter.
The case did not prompt troopers to issue an Amber Alert.
The Amber Alert system is triggered when authorities have reason to believe a child age 17 or younger has been kidnapped or that they believe the child is in imminent danger of serious bodily injury or death, according to troopers.
When an Alaska agency decides an Amber Alert is warranted, officials at the Alaska Division of Emergency Services are notified and initiate an alert through the statewide Emergency Alert System. Information is then broadcast to all radio and television stations and to GCI Cable. Stations then broadcast the information every half-hour for two hours, then once per hour for the next three hours, according to a summary of the system provided by troopers.
