    Omg! Thank God this child was found safe. Things could have been tragic!
    Where were this child’s parents? It is a must, that with autistic children, and any other children; keep yours eyes on them at all times.

    I was looking for the Angels in that lovely picture because they were there for sure. Bless that child’s heart.

    They make air tags for children there needs to be more advertising for this most parents of autistic children don’t know .
    If they can’t afford reach out to the makers they will offer free
    Please pass along to anyone you may know with autistic children
