Would an Implanted Chip Help to keep my child safe

[buckthesystem]

I was wondering when these sorts of articles would turn up after reading publicity about the latest child abduction.

Would an implanted chip help to keep my child safe?

In the wake of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, every type of child monitoring device is in demand

If your child could wear an implant

This company is trying to convince people that this is a safety issue...it's NOT! I've been watching the RFID implant thing for a while now...it reminds me of the Mark of the Beast...

I will never wear an implant in my arm the government has no business in my life unless it threatens them. I trust God to keep and watch over me and it does also remind me of the mark of the beast which is another reason why i will never have one of those even when threatened with death.

AS a parent...allow me to chime in.

I have a locator unit on my car...of course I would put one on my child. I have NO PROBLEM whatsoever with these devices. As the technology improves it is almost becoming irresponsible to not have a system in place to monitor your child. Child predators are everywhere and you can NEVER be too safe.

When we went to Disneyland I purchased a "range alarm" for each of my four children. If any of my kids went any further than 20 feet from me (who held the remote) an alarm would transmit on both my child and the remote. Fortunately, the alarm did not sound for the entire week at Disneyland. There is NOTHING wrong with being prepared, and cautious.

All of my kids are fingerprinted (I did it myself) and I have emergency packets with recent photo's and info on each of them...just in case. If you've ever had a child go missing for 5 minutes in a grocery store...you'll never want it to happen again.

Child tracking devices are NOT the Mark of the Beast...lol.

It's not the mark but it does violate my privacy. I don't want the government tracking my every move.

Fair enough...then don't get it. The issue here is whether or not you should get a locator device for your children. Wouldn't a small tracking device be far better than an abducted and/or killed child? Personally, I don't see how a person could forgive themselves if they didn't take EVERY precaution in order to protect their child.

I wouldn't get it for my child either.

Privacy vs. childs safety...

I'll take safety. Besides my kids don't really have the illusion of privacy anyway.

Having raised 6 kids already, i see no need for such a intrusion. First of all implanting anything is uncessissary. Why would anyone preform surgical proceedure to implant such a thing?

Secondly, there is no control over said device. why would you give any government agency that kind of power over your life or your kids life.

Third, whos to say your decision is what your child wants? what happens when their adults and they dont' want thisintrusive chip in them. You essentially take that choice away from them

Fourth, being smart and cautious will protect your kids far better than relying on a piece of "technology" to do your babysitting for you!

What else are we willing to give up for safety?

When you have to give up your rights for safety, you have lost any real safety. Besides, this device doesn't prevent kidnappings. All it would do is encourage a criminal to hide the "evidence" when he's done doing what he wants.

What do you do when your child is older? He can still be tracked as an adult.

I will never give up my freedoms for the sake of safety.
