Would you chip your kids?
Options
I mean in the same way that we chip our pets, but with the possibility of GPS...would you do it on your own kids?
I would in a heart beat, even if that makes me sound like paranoid mum, and only to be used in extreme circumstances (though the potential for abuse of this is all over it of course) and I would be happy for them to remove it at 18...
What are your opinions?

See my fear comes more from kidnapping fears etc...not to track in every day life, but in the insane chance that something happened..I would consider jewelery, but it can be removed.
we have had a recent random kidnapping here, and it has just made me think.0 -

Yea, I can see that ... however implanting a GPS in children for their "safety" would quickly send us, as a nation, down a very dangerous slippery slope
Justa thought....lil stud ear-rings ....unless they're gawdy criminals don't notice stud earrings0 -

lol yes hubs and I were just talking about the same thing...would need something for a boy too.
I can understand that chipping can have the possibilities to be disastrous on a large scale if it becomes a government run program, and as a parent you could take advantage of it it horrible ways...but if it could be done private and not connected to any thing other than my husband an I, then I would do it!0 -

Hell YES, I would! for the smae reasons you lisetd. I am terrified that some freakshow might try and take one of my precious babies!0 -
In my county, the Sherriff's office has a program to provide ankle bracelets for special needs kids upon request; very popular program.0

I don't implant anything in my pets. So why would I in my children? I think it's cruel and mean when there's other forms out there that can be used and easily taken off without surgery or implanting something in the skin.0

I'll just lock my kids in the basement until they're 18, eliminate all risks.0

100% YES.
I plan on doing everything I can to keep her safe.... She's 4 and I worry all the time now...
If she has something that can help me find her if she was lost, I would totally do it.0
