华盛顿一名自闭症患者失踪近一年, 促使推出紫色警报系统, A Washington man with autism, missing nearly a year, has spurred a push for a Purple Alert system to quickly notify the public about missing adults with disabilities.

来自华盛顿州阿灵顿的21岁自闭症男子Jonathan Hoang失踪近一年，促使他的家人推动“紫色警报”法案SB 6070。 Jonathan Hoang, a 21-year-old autistic man from Arlington, Washington, has been missing nearly a year after vanishing from his home, prompting his family to push for the "Purple Alert" bill, SB 6070. 他们相信他是被违背自己的意愿带走的,因为他从未不通知任何人就离开过。 They believe he was taken against his will, as he never left without informing someone. 华盛顿目前缺乏针对残疾失踪成年人的专门警报系统,依靠的是失踪五天后发布的《濒危失踪人员咨询书》。 Washington currently lacks a dedicated alert system for missing adults with disabilities, relying on an Endangered Missing Persons Advisory issued five days after his disappearance. 拟议的紫色警报系统将通过公路标志和无线电即时公开通知,类似于安珀警报系统,并已通过州参议院。 The proposed Purple Alert system would provide immediate public notifications via highway signs and radio, similar to Amber Alerts, and has passed the state Senate. 现定于二月二十三日举行众议院听证会, Jonathan的父亲准备在听证会上发表支持声明。 It is set for a House hearing on February 23, where Jonathan’s father plans to speak in support.
