Ohio's New Law to Save Missing Kids

A new Ohio law, named the Joshua Alert, mandates immediate statewide emergency notifications for missing children with autism or developmental disabilities—changing a dangerous one-day delay into real-time alerts. Born from the tragic case of six-year-old Joshua Al-Lateef Jr., who was found drowned 28 hours after going missing, this law aims to save lives by mobilizing the public faster. With drowning and wandering being major risks for kids with autism, officials hope this urgent response system prevents future heartbreaks and turns devastating losses into life-saving action.
