Keeping Track of Kids

Im just curious how many children have been abducted from UK schools? I understand that most children are ubducted by family members so the tracking device would not be so efective. How hard would it be to track one person with 2000 signals going off?

I have three pre-teen children and a level 2 sex offender living right next door. As far as I am concerned the GPS device in the clothing may not be effective enough. I was thinking more on the line of a sub or intra-dermal chip. That way if the child is removed from the clothing they can still be tracked. A horrible thought I know but I would rather be realistic and keep my children safe. This could be a dterrant to some that would kidnap children as well. Something similar to Lojack that only the Doctor and parents would know exactly where the chip was placed on the child. Eye opening just the fact that we have to have discussions like this. Last year a 7 year old girl was abducted from her garage on the way to her bus stop in the next town over. A parent's worst nightmare. I would do anything to prevent this.

direct line to solve the problem.... Shoot the sex offender

If only that was a viable option I would have executed it by now. Pun intended

I personally would like to see the laws changed drastically. Rather than allow them to live in towns with children, put all sex offenders in their own little prison, and let them offend each other.

I'm don't know if you're familiar with California, but we have a very interesting process going on...

In the middle of the state, there is an institution called Atascadero State Hospital. This institution is literally the size of a large town (And I have no idea why it was created in the first place!). Anyway, it is well known that sex offenders have a ridiculous recidivism rate. So, after an offender serves his time, but is guaranteed to commit another crime, they are warehoused in Atascadero as a patient for an indeterminate amount of time - meaning for life!

They complain, but currently to deaf ears. They have more freedom than in jail, but never get back to the public, where they will act just as they would. Good for me, good for you, and good for kids!

How many of these "willing" children are actually aware of what is going on with this and are not just going to be told to agree with it?

And the intentions here are of the best, at least were the parents are concerned. If this craze takes flight how long will it be before the government trys to mandate that everyone should have a tracking device? This whole thing is just a little too Big Brother-ish for me.

Good point, Guest. Who be you?

Keeping track of kids is a challenge, but are biometrics better than cell phones?

Since GPS is a relatively "passive" transceiver system, apart from the issue of children "privacy", it should become an excellent real-time tracking system, due to it's less than 50 meter accuracy range.

Hey, if it's good enough for pets...

Your kids are getting tattoos! What difference would it make for them to dig the chip out and stick it on some mutt.

Don't you dare call my kid a mutt!

He is ugly though... And goes after his father

For some reason, my vermin avatar is leaking over to your avatar!

It must be something in the air.

The business with Iran perhaps?

I've been wracking my brains (Or at least what's left of it) trying to figure out what's that something in the air.

What say you?

Get an Xacto knife and slice through you medulla. That should shutdown your breathing and heartbeat and any problems with my avatar!!!

Pound an aluminum spike into your child's skull. It shouldn't cause any damage unless it's removed. That should stop the little beggars!

You mean A-La-Lobotomy? This should help me, not my avatar!

The problem is, as soon as you perform the final, director's cut, they start multiplying like rabbits

And there you are, lef helpless to your fate

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.
