GPS Tracking On Your Kids

Stumble it!

It had to happen. Tracking devices are now being used to monitor the movement of children, convicts, pets, Alzheimer’s patients, and others.

American companies are reportedly working on developing a GPS-enabled chip to track individuals, which could potentially locate a person’s position, speed and direction.

Many parents believe it is their only option if they want to know where their child is at any time, day or night. It would allow parents to know if there child was at school or bunking off. Of course the big drawback is from a civil liberties point of view. What kid would want there parents knowing where they were 24 hours a day.

Parents would almost definitely support such a development. The devices would also have more advantages. It could help to ease parents worries over a child being kidnapped. The question is - Is it too much intrusion into the life of a child

This is not a straight forward matter. The technology exists to allow this to happen now. The debate over whether it should should happen of not will probably last for a very long time.
