It’s a moment every parent dreads.
You turn around for a second — and your child is gone. Panic sets in. Your heart races. You call their name over and over.
But for one family, what could have been a nightmare ended differently… because of a small, silver necklace with a QR code.
🧠 The Boy Who Couldn’t Speak for Himself
The boy in the photo has autism and is mostly non-verbal. He wandered away from a busy shopping centre during an outing with his support worker.
Thankfully, a kind passerby noticed he was distressed. She knelt beside him, saw the QR code on his necklace, and scanned it with her phone.
📲 Within seconds, she had access to:
His first name
Emergency contacts
His autism diagnosis and how to calm him
A note that he was an NDIS participant and required support
Within minutes, his support worker was contacted — and he was safely reunited with his care team.
