A. Goverments may begin voluntary programs where all children can receive implanted GPS chips.
B. The support and enthusiasm for a program like this among a large percentage of the population.
Comments on the subject are below. To me, these people's willingness to surrender their kid's privacy (and potentailly freemdom) for some false sense of security is scary and just sad.

Inject Your Kids With GPS Tracking Chip

Never mind the kids. Think about this technology in terms of how we might locate our brave young men and women that are “missing” in combat.
2. Joseph DiPietro - May 28, 2007
It is too bad that there is a serious need for tracking our children.
Anyone who says it is crazy is out of touch with reality.
The fact is that in states like Massachusetts where there is a child predator within five miles of every home says there is a need to do more to protect our children now! When states care more about protecting child predators than children something is wrong. I am not not talking about law enforcement I am specifically targeting our judges and lawyers. If someone steals your baby, the technology is there to use and you do not use it, shame on you! With millions of children being abducted every year it is time to open your eyes, find these predators and protect our children. The crazy thing is that this technology needs to be out there for our children now and the world needs to realize we are not living in a fantasy.

This would be a PHENOMENAL application of the technology. The first hours a child is missing are the most critical. A subcutaneous GPS tracker could literally be a lifesaving device. What moral objections could there be to this for minors. Any parent of an abducted child or one who got lost for more than a few seconds knows this is an invaluable technology. Perhaps the idea is too Orwellian, but I’d have it implanted at the hospital after birth. When will this be available??? Someone will surely do this for the safety of our children. Optional for adults

I would love to have this. As a parent of an autistic child this would allow me to sleep just a little easier. Autistic children have a tendency to run, because of that we avoid taking our children to places children love. Currently we have padlocks on all our doors that require a key to open from the inside as well as alarms on all our doors. All of our windows are screwed shut too, both of which are serious fire hazards. But the odds of a fire are slim to nill, the odd of our son running are 100%.
Please this would be a life saver, I’d go overseas to have it done anytime.
5. Trish - June 24, 2007
you must not have children…If you did you would relize that this is what most parents dream of. I would love to be able to track my 4 year old. I trust the people she is around but there is always that chance that she could be snatched from my life at any moment. Think how differently little Madeleine McCann’s story would turn out if she had such a device.
6. Rich - June 25, 2007
Actually, I do have kids. Well, one now and one on the way. And my post was certainly a little flippant. I can definitely see circumstances where tracking devices are warranted and advisable.
7. Michael - June 27, 2007
Where do I sign up? I have a 13 year old daughter that is going to high school next year, and wants to (eventually) start dating. A cell phone, or watch with gps can be taken away, but the chip is undetectable. I also have two sons that are 4 and 2 and I worry every minute of every day about them. With a chip under the skin, I can get on the computer and find their location immediately. Why do we care enough to put a chip in our laptops or pets, but not our kids? This is a dream come true.
8. Marisa - July 12, 2007
I have a 3 year old son and the thought of ANYONE taking him and me not knowing where he is keeps me awake at night. I believe this technology already exists for pets because the owners want a want to recover their lost “loved ones”. Well, I would like to have the same assurance that my son would be quickly recovered and brought safely home to me with real time results. I would like more information on how this technology can be implemented with our legal/privacy/ethical debate. If he chooses to have the chip removed after he is of legal age then that is his choice. Sounds reasonable.
9. Justin Case - July 26, 2007
I have wished for this years. I think its a great idea… I’m sorry, but imagine that your child was taken. How would you feel if you had the chance to have this. I bet that you would be screaming that you had the gps installed. I trully am sorry for using such a terrible example.. but, its a sad fact of life….

More information on products and availability please.
11. Rich - July 31, 2007
Thanks for the suggestion Gary. I’d like to have more of that too. I’ll work on it.
12. Heather - August 16, 2007
I have two teenagers, one going into Junior High and one going into High School. Both of my kids are very involved in athletics which requires them to travel to different cities for sporting events. They both have cell phones, but as the person above said, a cell phone can be taken away or lost during an abduction. I would have both of my kids implanted in a heartbeat no matter the cost. This device could literally save thousands and thousands of lives each year. Why hasn’t this been done before now and why is it such an issue????
13. Miranda - August 17, 2007
If a pet have a implant devices, because we are so worry that our love pet can been lost. How you doubt, about a child. As a mother of three kids if a lost my child under the clothes rack in the store for 30 seconds, my heart JUMP. Let me know, when these is available and I pay.

[…] unsurprising to me, considering that there are Brits that want to inject their kids with a GPS tracking chip, and that commenters here overwhelmingly favor […]
15. Frank - September 5, 2007
I have an adventurous 3 year old daughter and after I saw what happened to Madelaine and her family’s ordeal, a normal family simply vacationing who never thought that this could happen to them… well, I’d be proactive and purchase the chip in a hearthbeat. I have two main concerns, as a father: my daughter’s health and safety (and I never want to imagine her shouting and crying: “Help Daddy, help!” and not be there to save her from a predator); this chip would, to a certain extend, address both concerns. No one gets hurt, the predators have to think twice and the good guys win by incarcerating the caught predator. Now, lawyers and judges, DO your part!!!!!!!!! Help us and not the predators! The law is there to protect the innocent and law abiding citizens.
16. Shannon - September 5, 2007
This is not human, whatever happen to praying to the only one that matters for protection over your kids. GOD can’t bless, if you don’t have faith. Technology is great and I embrase it but this part of technology is not for me and my family, on the other hand, I am not taking an over-site to the fact that we have some real creeps on this earth who target children, sad. This is my personal choice, however I’m going to remain in constant prayer for the safety of my children and continue to be that on the job 24 hrs a day mom. I’m asking GOD to take the role of the GPS system. I will not be standing in the recall line for this tracking device.
