As families celebrate the July 4th weekend, remember that some children on the autism spectrum may be overwhelmed by fireworks, loud noises, or large crowds.
If a child wanders, SEARCH WATER FIRST. Many children on the autism spectrum are drawn to water and may also wander toward roads or unfamiliar places. More here: ncmec.org/theissues/autism
Behind every report is a child who deserves protection.
Child sexual abuse material is evidence of a child's abuse, and reporting it can help protect children and identify offenders.
