Location Tracking

Location Tracking:

Tracking animals and tracking children are certainly different things. But I can see the reasons behind both. I think that tracking young children would be a very helpful idea in many ways. When I say tracking, I mean something less severe like putting it in an item of their clothing. Implanting chips into a person seems a bit crazy to me. But in the world we live in today where children are constantly getting kidnapped or running away, this could be very helpful. For example if a child went missing, you could just track them and figure out their location. I think a child under the age of 5 does not know better not to run off from their parents or jump in someones van. However, I think that by age 7 or 8 the child should know right from wrong. I would support tracking of young children for this reason. It is strictly a safety precaution and is in no way invading a small childs privacy ( i mean think about it you are changing this childs diaper!). When the child starts to get older I think it should be up them to decide if they want to be tracked for safety reasons. I think tracking a child should only be used in case of a kidnapping or if the child goes missing. Not simply because the parents wants to know if they are lying or not or just wants to keep tabs on them. In the case of tracking seniors who are forgetful or have alzheimers I think it would be a great idea. The GPS shoes sound like a brilliant idea and would be extremely beneficial. Also because it is for the purpose of their safety. All in all, the idea of tracking should only be used for safety purposes. If people abuse it to spy on their childrens every move, then they are using it for the wrong reasons. I think the idea of implanting a chip in someones body is a bit extreme so I would opt for something like a bracelet or something you could put in a shoe.
