Track your children and keep them safe from sickos | |
Here in England, we have had too many abductions of young children. Why don't we implant a device to track our children at an early age? It could be removed at sixteen, and it would not matter how much it cost - I would pay to protect my children.
Wouldn't you?

What might it be that couldn't just be jammed fairly easily? How would it run? |
|
| |
Sorry for the misconception - I am not advocating a toy or other Xmas present, but a serious intent to track children when it has been established that an abduction has, or may, have taken place. |
|
| |
The device would have to be in the control of the Police to prevent jamming or misuse by the sickos themselves. It would have to be surgically implanted to prevent random detection and be able to be detected at great range (i.e. anywhere in the country, at any time) |
|
| |
If it meant that the Police: |
|
| |
a) Were able to find and stop the murder of a child in time |
|
| |
b) Were able to apprehend to sicko before they disappeared and so bring them to justice |
|
| |
then wouldn't that ultimately justify the cost and investment made. We value life too little. |
|
| |
Children are precious and they need protection from themselves as much as others in a society which, generally, feels it is better to get them out of the house so they don't make a noise/mess to play with their friends rather than take any real responsibility for their safety. |
|
| |
How would you track the children? Their social security number or just a serial number given to the device? (I’m talking about the idea [Skybird] made) |
|
| |
Something powerful enough to transmit over great distances from within buildings and the like would be a relatively large object. The implantation process would be fairly painful surgery with all the risks that entails. Also such an implant would prevent the child from having an MRI scan if required following any accident they may have whilst growing up. Childhood accidents are more common and cause more deaths than stranger abductions do. |

So now any would-be abductors can
follow a handy tracking signal to your
kid, and then, knowing that they were
led to a kid with a tracking device,
disable or shield it. Congratulations. |

Yeah. If it can be implanted, it can be detected. If it can be detected, it can be removed. (grim) |
