Privacy considerations aside, you have to consider the ease with which ID theft takes place today; if your child is "chipped," you are dealing with the possibility of someone stealing personal data off the chip the same way they do from cellphones...or worse, using the chip's tracking function to find and abduct your child.

For starters, the chip ID tag is NOT full of information about your child. It merely contains a single id number. Your child is assigned a number, say 12345678, and so THAT is the only information on thie chip itself, so if someone were actually able to jack the information from the chip, all they would get is a number.
And as far as tracking them, the would-be-kidnapper would need to know first, that your child even IS chipped, then your childs name, your name, the ID code of the chip, the security code assigned to you as a parent, as well as a POLICE WARRANT to access that information, as the current system is designed. So I do not see it making them a greater risk of being kidnapped. Besides, I would think it were more a deterrent, knowing that if you grab the child, you would be tracked while transporting.
I am not saying it is a perfect system, NOTHING IS, but when it comes to my child's safety, NOTHING is more important to me or my wife. period.
