I'm so glad they did. I know this may sound ...I don't know ..bad maybe but they need to figure out a safe way to monitor people with autism and alzheimers because as hard as people that care for them try its hard to watch them every minute.

I agree Pepper. There is nothing scarier! The services available are expensive and the equipment (ankle monitors) are not reliable from my experience. Maybe a microchip system that could be tracked online. I sure would employ something like that if it were available.
