## Resource

Ohio just launched the Joshua Alert—a groundbreaking statewide emergency system designed to swiftly notify the public when a child with autism or developmental disabilities goes missing. Inspired by the tragic loss of Joshua, a young boy who died in 2024, this law aims to reunite families faster and prevent future heartbreak. Law enforcement can activate the alert immediately upon confirmation, bypassing delays to ensure critical information reaches the right people. Backed by bipartisan support and championed by Reps. Cecil Thomas and Jennifer Gross, this vital tool underscores Ohio’s commitment to protecting its most vulnerable children—and offers hope in moments of crisis.
