Bryan's Call Launches to Find Vulnerable Missing Persons
from Baton Rouge News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Louisiana just launched Bryan’s Call — a groundbreaking emergency alert system designed to swiftly locate missing adults and children with intellectual, developmental, or cognitive disabilities. Named after 12-year-old Bryan Vasquez, a nonverbal autistic boy who tragically vanished and was later found dead after an alligator attack, the system fills a critical gap left by traditional Amber Alerts. Advocates like Ashley McDermott of the Emerge Center Foundation stress that many individuals with developmental differences, especially nonverbal ones, struggle to communicate during crises — making rapid, targeted alerts essential. Bryan’s Call sends direct alerts to every phone in the state, offering a lifeline to reunite vulnerable loved ones with their families faster and safer than ever before.
