Dear God, please don't let this have a disastrous ending.

AURORA — An 11-year-old autistic boy,
who police believe left his home through a second story window Sunday
night, was found safe early this morning.
Aurora police and Citizen Emergency Response Team volunteers searched
for Brandon Wells, who they say is non-verbal, from the time he was
reported missing from his home near East Hampden Avenue and South
Picadilly Street around 9:30 p.m., until he was found safe about 4 a.m.
in open space near his home.
At a press conference this afternoon, Aurora fire officials said the
boy was wearing a Life Trak device by Care Trak Systems, but it was not
working properly.
"There may have been some damage to the battery," Aurora fire official Matt Chapman said.
This is he second time the tracking device failed when Brandon left
his home while wearing it. On May 28, the device also had what appears
to be a battery problem, Aurora police spokeswoman Cassidee Carlson
said.
The boy was found quickly and was issued a new battery.
His mother, Mariana Wells, was charged in Adams County District Court with child neglect after that incident, Carlson said.
Aurora fire officials recommend that parents test the batteries in the tracking device at least once daily.
The Colorado Life Trak program was implemented in Aurora a year ago.
Police said 14 people use the device and Brandon's is the first reported
failure.
It was the second time in two weeks that an autistic child who had a
tracking device on went missing in the Denver area. The body of Kristina
Vlassenko, 10, was found in water at an Arvada construction site.
Police did not receive a signal in the Arvada case, either. Care Trak
Systems officials said the device was working properly, but murky water
where police found the girl's body blocked the transmission.

This is not the first time one of these things has malfunctioned when it is needed most.
I just don't understand?! We are at the apex and charging even higher in our technological capabilities and yet we cannot seem to get these things to be reliable ALWAYS.
Yes, power should be checked on a daily basis why not have any alarm when the battery gets low. We need RELIABILITY with the entire device and that's that.
