BellaOnline Forums News and Politics Missing & Exploited Children GPS Trackers on Children

What do you think about putting a GPS tracker on every child?

Would you put a wristband - or a permanent under-skin injection?

Would you let it have any option to be turned off?

At what age should this be turned off? When they turn 18? 21? When is it an invasion of their privacy?

When you were a kid, didn't you ever want to be able to just get away for a little while without your parents being able to come grab you? Can modern kids never have this freedom?

I believe as an infant until I would be for the GPS device. Today in Missouri a 7 day old baby was taken from her home after her mother was attacked with a knife and held at gun point.

Just think if the baby had a GPS tracker in her what miracles might be happening right now. Instead of an amber alert we might have recovered her already.

What if Jessica Lundsford had a GPS tracker in her? She might still be alive today, instead of being tortured and buried alive by a pedophile in her neighborhood.

I am a paranoid mom. I was pregnant with my third child (after losing two in utero)when two children in Saint Louis disappeared and were murdered with in days of each other both girls, only 9 and 10 years old.

Angie Housman was held for about a week before being left tied to a tree in a nature preserve left to die. She died after several days from exposure. The officers who worked on her case still have nightmares...Her killer has never been found.

As an infant until when?
