I have to agree with those that support this tracking device. I have a friend who was working for a company that designs them, and figured what better way to advertize than to give them to his kids. About a year later he was talking to us about how interesting the devices were, and that he really doesn't use it anymore, as his daughter was now 12 and he didn't want her feeling like he was spying on her. Not long after that conversation, his daughter was abducted by a known pedophile, who had recently been released for serving his time. His priors? over 5 counts of kidnapping and rape, and 1 count of attepted murder of a 11 year old girl. She was abducted in front of her friends, in their front yard, that's how brave the sicko was. Within MINUTES the company was contacted, and they were able to talk to the local police, and gave them GPS locations as he was driving out of town. They caught up with him less than 15 minutes after she was taken. What else did they find in his trunk? rope, duct tape, and a SHOVEL! *shivers*
Now I know we all say that kids have a right to their privacy, and I agree they do, but in TODAYS world, what is more important? Privacy? or their safety?
