Urban Autism would like to invite you to join Boston Parents as we "Bring Back Our Village" and support parents living in OUR community that have children who wander. This is not a new concept for children with autism back in 2014 14-year-old Avonte Oquendo wandered out of his school in Queens NY, and was later found dead. Many children on the spectrum wander off even with the most watchful eyes on them.

Instead of passing the blame lets all work together toward a solution. As a community we need to Support one another, and we can start by petitioning the Mayors office and the City of Boston to support a community awareness campaign, and a seek additional resources such as personal locators, magnet door alarms. We would also like a committment from Boston Police Department, if BPD would get to know the community members and residents they would also be able to support our Special Population of children.

It takes a village to raise a child.. Urban Autism is calling OUR Village to put our thinking caps on together and spread awareness and hope!!
