Special Needs Alert

Wouldn't it be a good idea if some sort of alert was established for children with special needs here in Saudi? For example, A child with Autism goes missing. How would we be able to find him or her? What if he or she is non-verbal and isn't able to talk? How would they tell a stranger what their name is or who their mom and dad is? Maybe by having something similar to an Amber Alert (which is a system in America used for children who have gone missing) put in place could make thin a little easier for parents.

Some children with Autism may not understand the dangers that could happen to them, therefore, break away from the family or group out of complete curiosity . But if the child doesn't have like a name bracelet or any type of identification on him or her then no one would know what family they belong too. I know this may seem like a foreign concept to people living here in the Kingdom, but I think its something that could be put in place by a Prince, overseen by a Ministry. (Am I getting a little too ahead of myself?)

Mention this idea to people you know, I will do so as well. Being that everything is done by word of mouth here anyway, this idea may reach the right people, and Allahu Alim, before we know it, it could be a country wide thing!

(Just a little reminder)
