Guest guest Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 I took a picture to the County Sherriffs office on Mason rd. They kept it posted on the wall incase my son ever left the house. He managed to do this 5 times and everytime they knew who he was and came to our house to notify us. Pablo ,s daddy Candis Firchau wrote: She's a girl age 9! The mom called after about 40 minutes (!)

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 We have to be very careful about this and not make this public. There are a lot of predators out there that they are looking for such a vulnerable population. I suggest that such a list to be made confidential and maybe only one person (maybe ) has access to it.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 We moved to TX from CA and we took our All About Me packet to the local police dept and asked them to forward it to all the first responders in the area. Most police depts will be very thankful for the info. Also call your school district and see if the PTO will help compile a list of names and then you can present it directly to the police dept with the schools backing. It seems to help if it is a community thing and not just an " overproctective parent. " I am currently in constant contact with my local police dept. We are trying to get a list up and running-they already have one for alzheimer's so the sargeant said it shouldn't be that difficult to get a database set up for children with autism. When we get it up and running I would be happy to send all the information out if anyone wants it. Thanks, Jenni --- Candis Firchau wrote: > She's a girl age 9!

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 If you call the police every time your child is missing for 5 minutes what prevents them from calling Child Protective Services to turn you in for NEGLECT? One more thing that bears repeating is that everyone should be looking into the push button mechanical locks for all of your doors. With the cooler weather coming I know my son will want to be outside more soon. He quickly learned how to flip switches and was trying to find the right key to the reverse deadbolt when he escaped our home one day when dad left the door ajar " Just for a minute " . He was gone for and hour and half, CPS paid a surprise visit to all my children at school and interviewed us later at home and accused us of NEGLECT. It was terrifying and heartbreaking don't let your child fool you into thinking they cannot unlock that door, get a mechanical lock that you can change the code on and change it every few months. My locks are made by unican. Trina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 What is an " All About Me Packet " ?? Is this something you made up yourself or did you get from the police?? Sounds like a great idea. We just finished putting up a 6 ft iron fence with motorized gates around our entire 2 1/2 acre lot...that and a German Shepard I am training to follow her around I pray will do the trick, but I still feel it's important for authorities to have the info.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 It's actually a file/packet we downloaded and filled out and made copies of. If I can find the link to the web site I will post it. If not I will scan the file and post it later. --- susan mcduffie wrote: > What is an " All About Me Packet " ??

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Hi again, Here is the link to that packet. It's great and we use it for babysitters, have sent it to school just in case there's ever a sub or a new aide. http://www.bridges4kids.org/pdf/AllYouNeedToKnow.pdf Hope this helps!
