It’s exactly 17 Qs in a short 23 character string.
It was either:
A SIGN THAT IT’S HABBENING!
A practical joke, or something to that effect, from someone who had access to that region’s Amber Alert system, and wasn’t worried about the repercussions of sending out a fake alert. Or,
THE OP messing with us, or the OP’s daughter messing with her (and she, presumably, knows if her daughter is the type who could/would credibly fake the appearance of an Amber alert in an IOS screen captures.)
Any of those is debatable... but this patently wasn’t an accident, or random.
If Option #3 were true, the OP would have to have very good Photoshop skills or have experience being an iOS developer (in order to fake the notification).
There's also an Option #4: this was an unintentional computer glitch. But the number of Q's is exactly 17, so this seems almost impossible.
Personally, Option #2 seems like the most likely one. Considering that AMBER alters deal with child kidnapping, it's reasonable to assume that the operators are really likely to be anons. That technician will get shown the door pretty soon...
I could fake #3 pretty credibly, maybe undetectably with Photoshop, and so could many others, but why the heck would someone go to all that effort... for what benefit, exactly?
_#4, I can rule out, because no random glitch would produce that, for probability reasons that both you and I touched on.
_#1 is certainly possible, though.
Certainly, there are multiple explanations, but I just didn't like to see the several false explanations that popped up here, either slandered the OP without basis, or insulting our intelligence.

I'm pretty much with you.
I think #2 is probably the most likely.
