FORT BEND COUNTY, Texas - An event was held in Fort Bend County provided families with autistic children to receive some sense of security for their kids.

In the Houston area, a 5-year-old autistic child died in Cypress, the third case in recent months.
Brundidge grew up in Houston's Fifth Ward, and moved to Minnesota with her three autistic children, but came back for the weekend to provide free locks to families so they could help keep their kids safe.
