Using Reverse 911 at any hour of the day or night to broadcast a time-critical announcement (e.g. tornado warning, amber alert for missing child, etc) makes sense.

I'm not sure it's necessary to broadcast the 'child found' at off hours. They could have waited til after 8am or before 10pm to send out this call. But, no matter which route they took, some will be happy and some will be unhappy.
