Rep. Leadbeter shares an emotional moment with Hannah Ha, Aiden Ha’s mother.
Harrisburg, Pa. — State Representative Robert Leadbeter, Columbia County, joined family members of Aiden Ha, legislators, and advocates to announce the formal introduction of Aiden’s Law to the Pa. House. The initiative is named after a six-year-old nonverbal autistic child from Columbia County who went missing and was found dead in a river in October.
The legislation, also called House Bill 2102, would create a Purple Alert system in Pa. Similar to the Amber Alert for abducted children, Silver Alert for missing older adults, and Green Alert for missing at-risk veterans, a Purple Alert system would rapidly notify the public and law enforcement when an individual with certain cognitive, intellectual, or developmental disabilities goes missing.
