One day, Jakob Lund wandered away from his elementary school in Spokane, Washington and never looked back.He was 9-years-old.

A Mothers 911 Call.When he failed to make it home, his panicked mom called 911. It wasnt the first time Lund who has Asperger syndrome had gone missing.

He was prone to wandering and getting lost, which is why Stephanie Lund, Jakobs mom, made her son wear a special high tech wristband to track his every move.

While on the line with 911, the dispatcher activated the bracelet to pinpoint his exact location using advanced cellular signal triangulation technology.


6

Police found Jakob 10 minutes after that first call for help, 15 blocks away from his school. He was safe and soon back in his mothers arms.
