My Way News - Swedish daycare centers use GPS to track children

Maybe a good idea, maybe not, but if it works I wonder how long it will be before the goverment things it's a good thing for the U.S..?

We use it to track our pets, should it be used to track children and the elderly. I do not like it but it could be on its way.

If it is just at daycare that chose to use those and you are willing to sign up for that specific day care that's your choice to do so. I can see it being somewhat of a positive depending on the kids age. However, we never had anything like that and use to take walks all the time through town with out supervisor.

I can see this as another "program" that our Govt. would like to impose and possibly require licensed day cares to have.

I have no problem with a removable GPS on my child while under someone else care. Then pop it off when I pick up my offspring.

If a private institution wants it and the parents are cool with it, more power to them.

Otherwise the GPS goes into the dumpster.

What we have on pets is not actually trackable, at least not in any practical way. It's just an ID. I've played around with stuff like that quite a bit, going to use them to make cabinets and things that are locked for everyone but me. Actually, I was even thinking of injecting one of the pet ones in my wrist, so I could just reach for the knob and it would unlock itself.

GPS makes a lot of sense for a daycare if you can afford it. I would definitely object to yet another unfunded mandate, or hellz, I'd object to funding it as well.

I would love to put a tracker on my kids and pets but I think that could get expensive. My dogs are chipped but not trackable, I wish. I would flip if someone else demanded I let them chip my kids though.
