STAUNTON, Va. (AP) — Earlier this month Amy Brown couldn't stop thinking about the 8-year-old autistic boy from Doswell who went missing.Robert Wood Jr. had wandered away from his family while they were taking a walk in a wooded area.
Brown felt a nagging sense of dread about the incident until Robert was found five days later and more than 3 1/2 miles away from where he went missing. He was doing well after being flown to a hospital.
"I kept thinking, that could so easily be us," Brown said as she and husband Tim gazed at their 6-year-old son, Hayden, doing somersaults on the floor. "I was so relieved for his family when they found him and he was OK."
The incident has motivated Brown to look into signing up Hayden for a radio-transmitter bracelet through Project Lifesaver at the Augusta County Sheriff's Office.
