[QUOTE="WSM, post: 190138, member: 5169"] We have a night wanderer too; once the police found him on the street; we took him home and a couple hours later escaped again and ran off and it took about 8 hours, with dogs and helicopters and lots of police to find him. We went to radio shack and got a motion detector alarm. Abt $20. We can put it outside his door after he goes to bed or accross a field a few feet away from his bed. He can't walk through it to get to his door without it going off. It does mean he can't go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, but...an 11 year old wandering the streets at 3 am is going to end up dead in a canal. He did 'disappear' it a couple times. And we had it across the far end of the room between his bed and the door on a table. He started putting books on the table and unthinkingly placed the alarm on top of the books--until we realized he was crawling under it. But it keeps him in bed and makes it easier for us to rest. Getting up every 20 minutes is horrible. [/QUOTE]
