Winston-Salem, N.C. — A Silver Alert was canceled for a 16-year-old who was last seen in Winston-Salem.

Developed in 2007, Silver Alert is a system to quickly notify the public about missing endangered adults who suffer from dementia or other cognitive impairments.
It also allows caregivers and nursing homes to report a person missing. In the past, only a family member could report an adult missing.
