Location Tracking

I would not support parents having chips implanted in their children for location tracking purposes.  Although this would help us find many children who go missing each year, I do not think the benefits outweigh the risks.  In going about doing this, children would have no say in being able to agree or disagree in having this done to them.  This could help the parents keep track of their children while they are young, however the child may not want the chip in them when they are older for numerous reasons.  This is an invasion of privacy because the individual would never be free from someone knowing their location at all times.  I would be completely against the passing of a bill in congress requiring ID chips in children under the age of 5.  I am also against the implanting of chips in a teen.  A teenager is old enough, to a certain extent, to know what they think is right and wrong.  If a teen disagreed with having this implanted in them I do not believe it would be right for a parent to force them to have this done.  I am against the implanting of chips in elderly patrons also.  Although they may be forgetful or suffering from a disease such as dementia or alzheimer's they are not of sound mind and should only be able to make a decision like this when they are completely healthy.  I do believe that elderly people in nursing homes should wear some type of a tracking device such as a necklace, pair of shoes, bracelet, etc. when they are not under complete supervision so they do not go missing, but nothing permanent.
