I would love to try this device for my 8 year old with PDD-NOS. It is very scary that he can wander any moment. I feel like I can’t give him his independence or get anything done with out having someone always watching him. Luckily my 3 year old is mature enough to keep an eye on him and will be the first one to tell me if he gets to close to the road. When my son was 5 he did get lost in the woods and it was the scariest time in my life! Luckily we had just recently got a new puppy and the K-9 unit was able to trace the dog’s sent, who never left his side. I am so please that you offer such a wonderful device that could save many lives and parents could rest assured that their children are safe.
Thanks, Kimberly and good luck with your submittal. Please share our site with the community.
WE have two children with Autism and other special needs. Each day is frightening knowing we could lose them for wandering or our daughter for going out without us knowing. WE really need this. We lose our son all the time it is scary, he is 10 and our daughter is 13, she goes out and does not tell anyone. She is somewhere in neighborhood but with her autism things can happen.
Thank you

We have a two year old boy with autism who is VERY sneaky and loves to run off by himself. Sometimes when we’re trying to get him and our stuff into the car, he will disappear and it will freak us out. We have not hired a babysitter for him since he was 15 months (and diagnosed) because we just don’t think people truly believe us when we say he is going to run off. He has figured out how to open doors and unlock them, so now we have to install kid-proof locks on all of the doors. But how long can I protect him this way? He is going to early intervention preschool soon, and I’m not sure if they can keep him safe. My husband has been laid off twice this last year and now we live off of unemployment. We really want a locator watch that he can’t get off, but $180 is quite a bit to spend for us right now. I think all children who have a disability should have insurance pay for this product: I really believe it’s absolutely necessary for all of our children who wander! There is no child more deserving than another.
Dear AWN,
My 5 year old daughter, Sahara, is diagnosed with infantile autism and has delayed speech with minimal functional communication. She is a high risk for elopement. In fact, she has run a few times and by the grace of God we have found her safe. Once she was found naked in a neighbor’s tree house near a pool. When you call her name she doesn’t respond vocally or come. We have chain locks on the inside of the house to lock her in, however, she recently has learned how to use the broom to flip the chain open.
We have asked for county funding to get a GPS devise and they told us we would have to forego her quarterly music therapy allocation to get the devise. We are also anxious as we approach kindergarten in the public school setting. The school is situated on property near a busy roadway and there is a pond on the primacies as well. We have articulated our safety concerns to the school and during IEP planning and have been denied an aide. Winning this devise, like all the parents entering, would be a huge safety precaution for us. And would let us sleep a little easier at night.
Thank you for your consideration!!

Subject: My story
To: info@autismwomensnetwork.org
The call was left on my answer machine…..”Jory has been missing for about a half hour and I don’t want you to see the news before this message reaches you.”
By the time I arrived home and got the call, it had been almost 2 hours since my 14 year old grandson, Jory had gone missing. Jory is a non-verbal autistic boy who had lived with me since he was about 2 years old, before being placed in a very loving foster home at age 13. He has Juvenile Diabetes and is insulin dependent.
He is also an escape artist………his school teachers call him “Houdini”….as he is so quick to make his get-away. He is so bright, that he watches in his peripheral vision for his caretaker, teacher, grandma…to glance away, and then he very quietly and quickly, makes his escape. I have caught him seconds after he has left my home and he is running as fast as he can, utter delight on his face, as he anticipates his arrival at whatever place he has already scoped out!
I have always caught up to him before he was out of my sight.
This night, his foster home had no idea where he had gone. Neighbors and police were scouring the neighborhood, the wooded areas and ravines, with about 100 people searching for this boy who could not respond to his name being called even if he wanted to…..he has been non-verbal his entire short life.
My greatest fear when I was raising him, was that he would become lost, and no one would be able to know who he was, where he came from nor how to locate me. Every device I put on him was removed within the first hour or two. My only option was an alarm that would sound if he crossed the barrier outside his room during the night, and to have deadbolt locks put on all entry doors; the keys always under my pillow when I slept.
His foster home changed the code to the armed doors very frequently so as to keep him in…….he would watch a person punch in the code (from his peripheral vision) and when no one was looking…..try for his escape. He was always caught.
Until this time.
The following is the Breaking News Report on our local TV station when he was found. But not before I aged waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay beyond my 68 years and cried my bucket of tears.
I am hoping that your company has something that will help me, help him when he is with me.
Thank you.

Congratulations to Cindy Fefferman Appel of St. Louis, MO for the being the winner of the Lok8u GPS wristwatch as she was selected as one of the caregivers that really needed the extra security this technology brings. We hope that this device will help Cindy and her family rest a little easier at night. Thanks to AWN and we look forward to continuing the contest for next months lucky winner.
I think the GPS device would be a wonderful tool for any parent of a child living with Autism or other Special Needs. I had a scary moment one day when I went to the bathroom for just a few minutes and came back to the living room to discover the back door was opened a tiny bit. My son had discovered how to unlock the door. I have a security system, luckily my son did not open the door enough to set off the alarm or get outside. After that incident I installed locks on the inside at the top of each door that opens to the outside. He is a runner and takes off toward the road or neighbors yard any time we step out the door. If we go to any public place, he has a tendency to run. He also likes to hide sometimes. One day I could not find him. I looked all over the house and couldn’t understand how a child could just vanish into thin air. I was really starting to pannick and then I heard a noise coming from the kitchen cabinet. He had crawled into the cabinet under the kitchen sink, shutting the cabinet door behind him. He laughed about it. He laughs about everything. He doesn’t understand how much his mother worries. I don’t know what I would do if he really dissappeared. I pray for the parents who have been through the traumatic experience of a missing child. That is why I believe the GPS device is a wonderful tool for any parent of a child living with Autism. It can potentially help ease some of the worries for parents.
Please enter my daughter and I in your contest for the monthly drawing of a free GPS locator. My daughter, Haley Rose, is 6 years old and has Down Syndrome. I have lost her on a couple of occassions and it has been terrifying. It only takes a few seconds of me looking away for her to run off. To complicate matters, she does not like holding hands and will fight to have her freedom. She is a very independent child (sometimes to a fault). One incident took place at a very crowded zoo. I had three other adults looking for her along with me. Luckily we found her within 5 minutes, but it was a very terrifying 5 minutes. She wanted to see the polar bears so she had pushed her way through a crowd to the front viewing area. Thank you for sponsoring this giveway. What a great thing. I’m sure there are many other parents/families who could benefit from this as well.

Subject: re: why my family would benefit from your GPS and service for the year.
Life as you know it is not what our family inows it as. Our family is a rural residential home, with 6 kids on the ASD spectrum from MISSY with Aspergers to the moderate little guy with the most severe ADD you have ever witnessed.
Our home is set on an acre of country farm land, unfortunately we are on a major thrufare for the transports, we havent ANY fencing, I am always within a hands reach of the youngest child, and with two baby monitors hooked on the pants argh!!!!!!!!!
We are continuosly seeking support for financing a fence it will cost upwards of 10K and nobody I mean NOBODY is interested in fencing theis home for safety of the children.
So having said this, please read into my daily routine, haahaaa haaa what flippin routine you say, yup, thats right from 530am to midnight I am constantly on the go, on the run, on the snot box run, on the kid escaping the back door, with the chain and the alarms on them to the front door, to the upstairs balcony door, to anywhere but where I would like them to be. I realize it would be one I SAID ONE!!!!! GPS tracker, but itwould put my mind at ease just alittle bit by actually knowing where my runner is at all times, and maybe I would be able to read a good book for five minutes every day, that would absolutely be a miracle, take a shower, go to the bathroom alone, brush my hair, change my shirt, tie my second shoe, look trice at another childs drawing, give myself the moment to bit chew and swallow the 1/2 sandwich for lunch not running chewind and choking haa haa
consider sending us this service PLEASE.

thank you for sanity
Dear AWN & LifePROTEKT,
Tanner will be 13 this year. He is on a very health diet & growing big & Strong. The nightmare of elopement continues. We actually had a fundraiser last Saturday night that was amazing. We are in the process of trying to decide which system to choose. If we win this months drawing some of the monies raised could go for more of his therapy needs & other systems to help caretakers.
My story is one repeated over & over…. Tanner spoke his last words 8 years ago “My name is Tanner. My name is Tanner” & then spiraled into deep Autism Sleep. He has profound deficits unable to feed himself, chew, use the restroom, or understand the dangers of the highway, lake, creek & woods nearby. I had two heart attacks at 38, we are struggling to start a business, I have lost multiple jobs due to the economy. It seems just in the last 30 days some prayers are being answered. New job & Health insurance. Which actually adds some concerns because I am no longer in the role of primary caregiver…
I promise to multiply your gift many times over because I am currently considered one of the most active & influential Parent advocates on the internet. I blog & tweet as Tannersdad. Helping multiple families just deal with life on the spectrum. If I had one of these systems I could relay the sense of safety that most families only dream of when the nightmare of a loved one becomes lost begins to play over & over in your head.
God Bless your organization.

My son would benefit from a GPS device and service from LifePROTEKT because he is a wanderer. He often darts off during family outings & has also made it out of the school building several times. Precautions are in place at home but we are still afraid he will take off in the middle of the night. To make matters worse he is attracted to the road & water. He doesn’t know how to swim & doesn’t seem to have any real sense of danger.

I am writing in to enter the contest for the GPS locator system.
I have a (soon to be) 8yr old son with Autism. He has made amazing gains since his diagnosis in 2006. He is verbal but still much needed Speech therapy services.
He can be distracted and sometimes forget to stay with our family when we are out. “STAY TOGETHER!” is a common phrase in our family! There have been a few times he has wandered off and scared my husband & I badly.
I would love to have the peace of mind of the GPS locator to help us keep my precious son safe.
Thanks for your consideration in this give-away!

My name is Karen Halabura I have 2 daughters 11yrs & 8yrs my 8yr old daughter is autistic and has very limited speach. She loves going outside but does not understand she needs an adult with her at all times Just this week in she sneeked out of the house in a matter of seconds and got out through the backyard by opening the garage door, something I never thought she would think of but she is very smart. My daughter was nowhere to be found. I came back home crying after driving around the neighborhood looking for her. Thank goodness one of my neighbors who knows my daughter Stephanie is autistic, saw her running on the street and got her. Stephanie was safe when I got home. The fear was unimaginable what would I do if something happened to my daughter. I really feel that we would benefit from this GPS Locator especially in the summer time. I have locks on all my doors that my daughter cannot open but all it takes is someone forgetting to lock a door and my daughter waits for those opportunities. Please consider my daughter for one of these locators I would really appreciate it.
Thank You
Karen Halabura
My story…..the summer of 2009 at a huge family beach in York, Maine. I told my sister “watch Jenna while I take photos of the other kids”. My sister did not hear me and when I turned around she was gone. The panic set in and thankfully she was in sight to my adult friends who then grabbed her. I was completely restless the entire day and it took forever to calm myself down. Nightmares about loosing Jenna continue to this day since she can bolt at times. If I had a GPS device on her, beach vacations, family amusement parks, etc. would be much easier for me and my husband. I hold
her hand so tight, at times I think she turns purple!

I am in need of the GPS tracking device for my soon to be 11 year old son. Who would have ever known when we adopted him that he would have so many medical issues? I knew some of what was wrong but the older he gets it has gone for slightly MR, speech delayed, hearing loss in both ears, SI, OT delayed to moderate to severe austism, moderate to severe MR, Hearing Aides, seizure disorder abused at school by teacher, the worlds best escape artist. I have found him many times outside waiting for his daddy to come home at 5:30 in the morning. We live right by the highway and I fear him coming up missing. He is not able to call home if he gets lost nor would he be able to find his way home if he came up missing. I have vowed to protect hm till the day I did and being 46 years old it can be trying at times. We can not go camping as a family for fear he would wonder off and we would never find him. It is hard to go any place because he trys to take off back to the van all the time. It is hard to tell your other children sorry we can not go there or do this. I never say it is because of him I just say sorry that is something that our family can not do. I know they know it is because of him and I do not want them to resent him. At least with a tracking device like this I would feel safer when we are out and about. Having JD is like having several extra children all the time that are between the age of 2 to 6. That makes it harder to go places or do things as I already have a 4 year old who likes to take off and a 6 year old who goes in a different direction. T-Ball games are a nightmare if we take him. He can not sit down and watch the game without getting up and trying to wonder off all the time. We worry about him all of the time getting lost. This would product would help take some of the worry out when we are out and about. I really hope that we can win one of these so we can try it out. You spoke about my comment on the web. We are the ones that bought the ION kids set for over 500 dollars to have him break it off in less than 5 minutes. Lou has assured us that it could not happen with this product. I worry about it breaking from our past experiance, This product would be shown off to everyone and worn all lthe time.
Thanks

Hi, my name is Michelle Enfield (Serenity on the AWN forums), I was on the chatroom, listened live and called in as well. I thought I’d send in my story by email anyways.
I am a single mom with AS, my oldest son Dylan is 9 with Autism (dx’d at 29 months old) and I have a youngest son Brendon who is 7 and in process of being accessed for a dx of AS in the near future. I have been a single mom since Oct. 2007 when I left an abusive relationship with their father and have been on welfare and struggling to get life back together for myself and for my two sons.
My concerns of safety are great especially for my oldest son ever since he was little back when we lived in Digby, NS, Canada. One day I was watching them out in the yard and had to go inside to the bathroom, told their father to watch them while I did and it wasn’t very long before I came back downstairs and the boys were gone from the backyard and their father had no clue where they went as he took his time getting outside. He took off in his car looking for the boys and me on my feet running to try to find them. I found my youngest back at the time was about 3 years of age a few blocks over and nearly had an asthma attack doing so, he was looking for his older brother. A while later thankfully their father had checked a few streets over at his parents house and down on the main street and that is where his brother who was nearly 5 was found. It was a very scary experience. I will never forget the fear I felt that day.
I am blessed that my youngest when he has gotten lost even at the Halifax Metro Center two years ago when we went to watch a hockey game found an adult and was helped to find us. Dylan generally has a good sense of direction but lacks the sense to ask for help and often when talked to will only talk about video games (his special interest). Recently I have had a lot of concerns that while he knows where we live and such that his recent issues with aggression and threats to run away when he is angry that he’ll take off and I won’t be able to find him. Even the thought of him slipping out in the night often worries me, I keep the doors locked and all. We do know one of the community police officers but Dylan hasn’t had much exposure to the police and such and might actually avoid them. Other concerns are is that we left an abusive home and I have once nearly lost Dylan as his father showed up at the school I had him in when we were living in a transition shelter for abused women and children and tried to take him, thankfully school called the transition shelter and the police were called to intervene but to this day I still have worries regarding all of that with both my sons.
It would be nice to have a way to keep track of one or both of them especially as the oldest is getting older and wanting to be more independent and all. He has often threatened the teacher that he would leave the school and go home or whatever when he gets upset and does that at home too. He also is very easy to take off in public places and with issues with osteoarthritis in my knees it’s hard for me to catch up with Dylan when he disappears. And even harder when I have one kid going one direction and the other going the opposite. I just want to have my boys safe. I may have similiar issues but I know where to go for help.
So I just wanted to share my story and how things would benefit my family.
Thank you,
Michelle Enfield
Congratulations to Tim Welsh of Catlin, IL for the being the 3rd winner of the Lok8u GPS wristwatch sponsored by LifePROTEKT. Tim’s son Tanner is a perfect candidate for the Lok8u device and we are so happy we are able to give Tim and his family the extra security he needs.
Thanks to AWN and we look forward to continuing the contest to find our next months lucky winner.

all tho, he can’t be understood most of the time. MANY, MANY times Kyle has wandered away, or escaped from the house because of over stimulation or just because he see’s that the door has been left open. I have had to have search parties out looking for him, I’ve had to call 911 and have the police looking in the cars, on foot, on bikes and STILL no one could find him. Eventually he was found in our garage, hiding in an old car (even tho several people had been in there calling his name and searched every corner of the garage) When a child with Autism is in there own little world, weather there verbal or not, most will NOT respond verbally. I was within a foot of him, screaming his name and he did not answer me!!! I live in fear every single moment of every single day that one of my boys will go missing and not be found alive!!! Mason’s family is living the nightmare that I fear every day. To make things worse, I am also 85% deaf since I was 8 yrs old, and can’t hear if the boys leave the house, which means that I have to keep both boys in my sight at all times!! NOT an easy job to do when I have 5 kids!! Masons alert would save ALOT of peoples lives!! REMEMBER, that our autistic children will grow up to be adults, and may still not totally understand the dangers involved in eloping. PLEASE, I am begging you, we NEED Masons alert for our children!!!!! ♥ sleep with angels Mason..You will always be remembered and in our families hearts ♥
07 – COMMENTS: = I am the mommy of 5 children, 2 are autistic. My son Braden is 9 yrs old and has Autism, anxiety disorder, learning disabilities. When Braden is upset, over stimulated, frustrated or goes into meltdown, the first thing he does is hide.He doesn’t think about the dangers involved when leaving the house when its -40 outside, and he needs to get away from what ever is bugging him (it may be something as simple as the sound of the ceiling fan humming) I have found him hiding outside in the middle of winter with no boots or jacket on, on several occasions!!! Braden is also fascinated by water, just like MANY autistic children are,I could be standing 2 feet away from him when he’s hiding and he would NOT answer!! Yes, Braden is high functioning, and can speak VERY well and has never had any type of speech delays at all, but when he enters his “own little world” and all he is thinking about is getting away, there is no stopping him..its like the rest of the world doesn’t exist….I also have a 5 yr old son named Kyle, he is diagnosed with Autism, global developmental delay, speech delay and anxiety disorder. Kyle is a wanderer and a bolter who has NO fear of anything. 6 months ago, Kyle was non verbal but has since figured out that he can speak
My husband and i have 3 children ,2 with autism.are 8 year old is mild and are 12 year old is severe and is nonverbal.july of this year we lost him.thankful he was found unharmed but 1/2 mile away.we have 2 insurance plans and we are fighting them to help pay for tracking device for are kids that they would wear 24/7 .every one talks about these kids but its time they do somthing to help families.god bless yours!~stark family
I am a mommy of 5 beautiful babies and another child that I have raised since she was 6 (her mom is single and has been fighting cancer) I have 2 sons that have Autism, Braden is 9 and is higher functioning and Kyle is 4 and lower functioning..But both boys are bolters, and not only do the bolt but they also hide and won’t answer :/ I have had them both take off from school and from home an many many occasions..and to make matters worse, I am also 90% deaf and can’t hear if they were to leave the house. Just last week Kyle wandered away and I couldn’t find him..I had to call 911, have a search party out. We had cops on foot, on bikes and in cruisers, Plus all of the neighbours down the block helping look!! Thank god that he was found alive!!! Turns out that he was in our garage in an old car that we have. I looked EVERYWHERE in there and was yelling his name and he will not answer me..Yes, Kyle is partly verbal but when he’s over stimulated he won’t speak.The whole time that I was searching for Kyle, all I could think about was how Sheila felt when she found Mason..I slowly walked over and had to look into the neighbours pond :’-( but thankfully, Kyle was not in there.
I have tried putting the bells on the back of his pants but my older son with Autism will take them off for him
I have tried the alarms at the doors for awhile now and if the alarms go off, I’m dealing with 2 autistic boys melting down for an hour at the same time..I really have tried ALOT of things and NOTHING is working!!! I know that the GPS watches will work for them cause they both wear regular watches and don’t have a problem with them 
The GPS would take sooo much stress off of our family and allow us to be able to concentrate on other important things 
Thank you in advance for your concideration and for taking the time to read my story
Dusti ♥
I am a gramma of two autistic brothers. One is nine and one is five (tomorrow). Both these boys wander, Braden, the nine year old hides and will not reveal himself when called. He hides both inside and outside. My daughter has had to call me to help find him on several occasions. It is especially scary in the winter, because our temperatures often get to -40 and he will not last more than five minutes out there. He has bolted out of the house with no jacket and no boots. Braden does not know the meaning of the word fear!!!!! I feel that he is in grave danger of being hurt, or worse!!! Kyle the five year old is a wanderer and a bolter. He also has hidden on us many many many times. Like his brother, he has no understanding of the fear that lies ahead of him. We as a family have had to go searching for him on several occasions also. We have had to call 911 to help us. Thank God that he was found safe. I don’t know if I could handle losing either one of these boys. I love them with everything in me. It is a full time job for my daughter to keep these boys safe. As she is nearly deaf, it makes it soooooo much harder because she can not hear them when they go out the door. We have been trying to find door alarms that she will hear and with no success. Just today Braden tried to climb out his bedroom window and she caught him. We have a very supportive RCMP detachment who check in on us occasionally and have taken the boys profiles and pictures in case they go missing again, but I believe with my whole heart that the only solution for both of them is the gps. Thank You
And PLEASE everyone who reads this, support Mason Alert. Go to their page and read about it!!! It could save a life…….it could save my grandbabies lives!!!!!!
How heart breaking it is to hear there are so many families that experience such terrifying moments. I know the feeling all too well. My own terror story came on september 27, 2010. My 6 year old autistic son Nicholas decided he wanted to go out and play. I was making dinner and my other son, Albert followed Nick outside. Albert had to push pause on the wii remote first, then went outside to play. By then, Nick had already escaped. My heart began rushing and palpitating, I began begging God to bring him home safely to me. We immediately called 9-1-1, we had emergency personal, neighbors, the community, kids and older people, people who were sick (one guy has terminal cancer and another guy just had a stroke) everyone out searcing for him. What made it even more terrifying is that we live in the country and there’s a million places Nick could go. Finally after about 20 min, I went back home to see if anyone had found nick and at that time dispatch called me, they found him! I was so realived, only to realize seconds later, it wasn’t Nck they found after all, it was his brother, Albert (he looks a lot like Nick) Everything rushed through my mind, “will they find him alive? Will they find him tonight? Will he be hit by a car? will he be attacked by a dog? Will I have to attend his funeral? Will I have to identify his body? What will I tell people?” It was already nearing the end of the day and it was complete torture not knowing where he was or if he was safe. All I kept seeing was other people out searching for him, calling his name, it was the biggest nightmare of my life.
He was gone for an hour before finding him. he was near an orchard, nearly two miles from our home. It was his teacher who found him, and she said he was running as fast as he could. I thank God it was her that found him, because most people would not have thought much of a little boy walking!
I am more than greatful to the community and to Nick’s teacher, I think it is beautiful how caring, loving and supportive people can be and how quickly people can pull together. Hang on to your beautiful babies, love them, hug them, and kiss them every single day.
Hi! The GPS watch would be wonderful for my 10 year old Aspergers son as he began to wander off last summer and it was terrifying not knowing where he was or where to start looking much less knowing if I should leave to look for him and chance he may return and find me gone!
As he is high functioning I have him in Cub Scouts and so we do a lot of hiking and camping. It is very difficult to provide these opportunities as I am nervous to go off for a bathroom break or shower for fear he will be gone when I return.
Scouting is doing amazing things for his development, but I am going to have to get a GPS tracker to continue this journey.
I am a single mom and need this second set of ‘eyes’.
Thank you so much. 0:)
Hi I would love to have it for my 4yr old daughter who has autism. We have already lost one child to fire cannot afford to lose another one for running off on us. It would benefit us great due to our financial situation with all her medical needs and meds. We cant even afford to buy anything special that she needs due to all the surgeries she has had and meds and drs. appointments. God bless!
