Liverpool Lou Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 6 hours ago, RichardColeman said: Her relatives were waiting for her when rescuers finally managed to bring her out of the forest. Wonder of the relatives will put the bill for the search for not taking care of her properly ? Why should they? Emergency rescue services are the state's responsibility, those rescued do not get invoiced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think that an Alzheimer's sufferer will be any good with a smartphone?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with the "LOCATION" turned on the phone can be traced. You think that a person with Alzheimer's, wandering off into a jungle for a week, is compos mentis enough to ensure that she always has her phone charged and safely with her?

That would only lead the searchers to where she had left it! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ54 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I’ve read about chips you can track car etc. Maybe have one some how put in necklace, bracelet etc. then they could be found quicker.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogNo1 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I know that there are necklaces with battery-powered tracking chips built-in. A friend of mine in Japan wears one. I don't remember it's name or model ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
