Sure .... chip away . I don't have kids but I think it would be smart to chip everyone . If your not doing anything wrong or going places you shouldn't why do you care if the government or anyone else knows where you are .

What happened to smacking your kid when they talked to strangers or the ever so classic "don't talk to strangers"...sorry but I would have to say I'm against this except in special cases where the child honestly can't know the difference either because of a disability or a mental state. But if your kid is of normal intellect there is no reason they can't scream out or walk away, teach don't find ways around it.

i dont think a lot can be taught to a kid to keep an adult much larger than them from snatching them up into a van or something

If someone tried abducting my kids, I'd probably end up paying their hospital bill. I've taught them to knife & neuter first, and ask questions later.

did you know that they've done studies on this? children that are taught from day one to not talk to strangers are EASILY lured over to a vehicle...

Pets: Yes
Kids: (I have 2) Don't even go there. I resent even buying chipped merchandise at the store, or being asked what my zip-code and/or phone number is.

Something like this, although it offers obvious benefits, will, no doubt in my military mind, be abused by some affectionate government agency (sarcasm intended). There is no way to adequately protect your self from the invasion of privacy. It's a baby-step to Big Brother - Get everyone used to the concept, and then quietly pass a law requiring that everyone be chipped at birth - Then it's just a little hop to controlling every conceivable facet of your existence.

~ How about a bracelet that only the parent has the security key for? I don't think I'd have problem with that.

So this tracking chip...goes off when the child is abducted, right?

There is nothing, and I repeat nothing that can stop someone from kidnapping your child. You can track them, good, but if you maybe didn't look at it at the time (perhaps something else was taking up your time and you just didn't think to) then what?

Nothing beats knowledge, no electrical component or wired up wall can beat what I was taught.

1. It would have to be undetectable so the "bad guy" couldn't locate it and perform field surgery to remove it.

2. Only family has the tracking code.

3. It must be able to be removed so when my children are 18 they have the choice of having it removed.

no.. no buzzer goes off saying your child was abducted, you call the police or hotline or whatever it is and your child is tracked, its not just for kidnappings its for missing children in general i think

well said!.. thats exactly what i was thinking

Have you ever read Orwell's book? I just don't trust that people won't see uses for it to start spying on it's own population. Not because they suspect that a person is up to something, but to track people before hand, treating everyone as if they are a criminal. Regardless if they have ever done anything or not. That isn't a world that I want to live in.

So let us install a chip so we don't have to worry...right.
