Does Anyone Have Advice On GPS Systems For The Runners?
My kid has snuck out of the house three times. Last night was the last straw. I almost lost it. The VBPD are very accommodating in helping to find him, but I am so afraid that he may get out and that i will never see him again. Please let me know if you all are using any systems, or can recommend. Thanks all

Overeating??
My nonverbal son has a tendency to over eat.
