As a parent you know that your child is in class rather than at the mall or some arcade hall. And if anything happens (e.g. kidnapping) the police can trace your child in time. There are more pros than cons. [/quote] Dear AC if you would raise your child to have any common sense and decency they wouldn't need to be monitored. [/quote] Come on, peer pressure is more prevalent these days. Besides, we all skipped classes from time to time when we were in highschool. Even if someone would raise their kids with common sense and decency, would that mean that your kids are in a saver environment? No, not at all, because we would still have kidnappers, pedofiles, etc...out there. I remember in the 80s and 90s that there were milk boxes in USA with the faces of missing kids. I've no idea how many of them were retrieved, but i know one thing for sure: many more abducted kids would be found if they had some kind of RFID device on them! Nobody can deny this. [/quote] I began using drugs not because of peer pressure but curiosity. I searched out the sources of them. I only skipped one class my entire life. Was using cocaine by age 13. Finished schooling all the way to 12th grade. Was using crack, meth, and heroin by the time I graduated. You assume based off of your own experiences. This is a stepping stone to the mark. And regarding the milk box kids, you are in denial of the fact that many of these kids in America were abducted for occult ceremonies. From NISMART statistics.... 'A survey on such a hot-button subject has obvious limitations--one may reasonably ask, for example, whether the alleged 114,600 attempted nonfamily abductions are a real phenomenon or just an indication of parental paranoia. A couple of possibly relevant facts: (1) Stereotypical Elizabeth Smart-type kidnappings--which may involve ransom notes, violence, and so on--account for a few hundred cases per year. (2) In 1994 Canada reported 400 parental abductions per year, versus NISMART's 350,000 in the U.S. Even accounting for differences in population, reporting methodology, mobility, etc, such a huge disparity gives one pause. ' http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2402/how-many-kids-are-found-as-a-result-of-missing-child-posters 'Nonfamily abductions--114,600 attempts, 3,200-4,600 actual.' 'Lost, injured, or otherwise missing--[b]438,200[/b]. Your basic lost-at-the-mall kids, for the most part.' Back to your post, what nobody can deny is more responsible parenting would prevent these statistics. There is no precedent for the effectiveness of RFID tech in such cases, how it would catch abducted children, and the fact that abducted children typically aren't going to school anyway has to be comprehended in regards to the original post. More responsible parenting is the answer. Not tracking beacons so the STATE can fill your void of responsibility. [/quote]
