I am wondering if you have heard about Project Lifesaver (or Operation Lost and Found), as it is called in Madera County. It is a program designed for the exact scenario you encountered. Please e-mail me if you are interested in more information regarding such a program. You also may be able to get information from your local Sheriff's Office/Search and Rescue Team. It is free in our county, and it does save lives. Best of luck to you and your family. -Drew Loyd,

Hopefully there will not be a next time, but for God's sake, if there is, post with the title "Found: My Little Boy". Knowing that your son is autistic (b/c we talked about giving him ski lessons) and seeing that title in my RSS reader freaked me out. I had to jump to the end before I could go and read the story. Glad it worked out okay. My God Loyd, that’s horrifying.

It's good to have such a great community behind me. The feeling you get while you run around looking for your child realizing that you could never see them again is indescribable. Thanks everyone.

Maybe it's something that your active child needs, for his safety and your peace of mind. I'm very happy he was found and that you are all back together again. Take care and my prayers are with you. --Carol O Loyd: Tonight on the news (NBC) Brian Williams mentioned an ankle device that helps parents keep a “radar” on autistic children and older adults with Altheizmer’s, just because of this very reason of wandering off.

I was a little mislead by the title of your post and the first few sentences of it. I am glad this story has a happy ending and that the community rallied around you during your short-lived crisis. So many stories begin exactly like yours and, sadly, do not end in the same fashion. Thank God this is not one of those times. And thank you for sharing such a personal experience with us. Your "extended neighbor", Mark Such bad/good news. I was a little mislead by the title of your post and the first few sentences of it.
