That is a niche that has not been tapped into. Nicholas knows and once a few years ago went to the guard at Target to get help. I am concerned about Matthew. I got those tags for his shoelaces and the writing was not even noticeable, they were a waste of money. At his two Elementary schools everyone knew him, teachers, janitors, kitchen help. But now going to the Middle School taking a bus not sure. I will have to go visit once school starts to spy or join a groupthere to get access, some parent group I guess will be necessary, hope they speak English. The orientation is late in the month, last week and that is when I can buy uniforms and gym clothes and do a tour, his aide will be going as well and might visit him at camp this week.

I told him that a police officer was going to come and give him a special watch to help keep him safe. The wristband is nylon so it isn't too invasive or uncomfortable, he never complains. He also really likes the officers that come to swap his battery & band every month since they bring their K-9 dogs with them, so I'm sure that helps.

Because we had an incident where my son got out (naked) and thankfully was quickly recovered thanks to a neighbor. I have since enrolled him in Project Lifesaver - what a worthy program.
