A statewide Amber Alert was issued this afternoon for 7-year-old Kaleb Hardin, missing from Harlowe, North Carolina. Authorities believe he is traveling with his mother, 34-year-old Susan Hardin, and he is believed to be in imminent danger. They are believed to be hitchhiking in the direction of Charlotte, North Carolina. However, further information has placed the mother purchasing a bus ticket for the Charlotte destination a few days ago.

The poster issued by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children indicates that both Kaleb and his mother may be in need of medical attention. The poster also indicates caution should be used when approaching the pair.
