Bloomsburg, Pa. —  State Rep. Robert Leadbeter (R-Columbia) announced he intends to introduce legislation — dubbed Aiden’s Law — to establish a “Purple Alert” system in Pennsylvania to ensure the Commonwealth’s most vulnerable citizens who go missing are brought home.

The move comes after 7-year-old Aiden Ha drowned after going missing in Bloomsburg on Saturday. Emergency crews and the public searched for two days for the nonverbal autistic boy before his body was discovered in the Susquehanna River.
