Backpack Trackers

This only adds to the problem of health issues due to high frequency EMF exposure.

That's scaremongering. You show me a decent paper in a reputable scientific journal and I'll believe you. NB Google search is not a reputable scientific journal.

With company sponsored research where researchers tend to report what the company who paid for the research wants to hear, it is difficult to obtain objective information. See information presented at the links below:

That is perhaps enough links. I do not need any scientific research to determine that Wi-Fis and other devices that produce EMFs at similar frequencies are detrimental to my health because of how being in the presence of the devices negatively impact my health---which a medical doctor concurs with. Some people and children's sleeping ability are significantly negatively affected by high frequency EMF. If the source of EMF is turned off, then they sleep better.

A big problem with some people is that they tend to have preconceived ideas---are not open minded and cannot believe that these things are true---therefore they must be false when when evidence otherwise is given.

You mean like climate change? asking for a friend.

There's always one, Doom & gloom were all gonna die.

Well, he's right. We are all gonna die.

I don’t know what you would call this,...an oxymoron maybe,... but as our lifespan increases,... they are going to find reasons why things are hazardous to ones health.

“So,... What did Jim die from?”

”Old age I guess”

AS our "civilization" becomes less civilized we must use the tools available to do the job of parenting.

When I was 6 I walked to school. 12 blocks. Those are standard town built in the 1800's Illinois blocks.

We had trackers back then. You see, moms didn't work, they watched the kids go to and come from school. They knew you. They knew your parents. If you didn't pass by they would call your mom. We also had fewer predators in our communities because everyone knew everyone and there were "social" controls at work in our communities that kept those with certain urges on their toes. However, as the Catholic church proved, even those social controls can be thwarted by an organized and concerted effort to conceal. Imagine how many of those children would have been saved if a panic button device was available? As well as few pervs wanting to risk it knowing the kid might have one. Still as our society grows and regresses, this sort of technological safety net will become more important.

I would definitely put one on a small child if I were going to a major city as a tourist or even to a Disneyworld type of place.

I see this issue more as a predator/prey ratio issue. As I child, I was allowed to roam a lot with my friends. Such treatment is now considered neglectful parenting. A main difference I recall is that as a child, they didn't mess around with people who hurt children. They got dead or went away just about forever. These days we are kinder and gentler and play catch and release with offenders and the pure numbers of child hurters who are wandering around on their own recognizance is substantially increased as a percentage of the population. We've made our own utopia.

My point exactly, J. Thanks.

It was more then just letting you roam,... it’s a number of data points (so to speak) where what your parents experiences with you through displine, displaying common sense, and coming to the conclusion on being how far they could trust you.

And if you where a nor,al kid like the rest of us,... your parents had limits set you may not be aware of ... but they do trust you on their experience on your better judgement history.

With substitute parenting, this could never be achieved.

as far as people who hurt children, that has always been around in more ways than most want to admit because it conflicted their moral beliefs...

I recall as a kid that we always were given a bolo paddle, the wooden paddle with the ball on the rubber string. When the string broke, mom collected the paddle to use for discipline. I learned to keep several rocks in my back pockets for times like those.

Me...I never would have used that paddle board for fear of it being repurposed used against me... what I remember as a kid,...

no matter how fast you think you are with your dad letting you win all the races you had against him, or mom for that matter.... it doesn’t take long for one to realize one could never run fast enough to escape a good parent from their long arm of discipline... lol...

Actually I always felt that the wait for the punishment was worse then the punishment itself.

The biggest fear was what I would get when I got home.

In hindsight it was usually a discussion - just NEVER LIE ! That escalated things in a hurry.

(But today Trump vs honest Abe? Not a good role model.)

This post and discussion reminds me of the black mirror episode Arkangel
