Parents, how devastated would you be to learn your child had disappeared?
Over the past few weeks, 4 children with autism have disappeared. These disappearances are in different cities and unrelated to one other, and all 4 of these disappearances ended very tragically.
With summer here, we need to do everything possible to help keep our kids safe, especially those children with autism:
- Add inexpensive alarms to doors & windows that will alarm you if your child leaves the house. You can even buy travel door alarms for hotel doors.
- Never leave a child alone that is known to wander without adult supervision.
- Never leave a child alone in a swimming pool.
- Purchase tracking devices that attach to the child.
- Have current pictures of your child and their finger prints.
