Radio frequency identification chips or RFID chips are a fairly new product on the market. They were approved back in 2001 by the FDA. However, a lot of risks are still involved in using these chips and it's been reported that animals have developed tumors and certain cancers due to the high exposure to radio frequencies.



I couldn't give you a price range for these chips, but I'm sure they are fairly expensive since this is a newer technology. Also, there are certain bracelets similar to the med alert to help track your child in an emergency situation. Personally, I feel this would be just as a affective and a lot less dangerous.



You should check out some of the writings of Katherine Albrecht, RFID chips is actually one of her favorite topics. I can't say I disagree with this woman's position either. You're really giving up a lot of freedom, and personal securities when you implant a chip into your body. Why? With the digital age comes new technologies, and with those technologies come people who misuse them for their own personal benefit or as a form of control. That's something you should take into consideration before chipping your child. God bless.



Amber, you are very naive to believe that anything can't be hacked. With those who mastered the creation of a product there are those who master the ability to destroy it. We live in an age of masssive credit card fraud and identity theft. Once you put your information into the digital realm you have absolutely no idea who or what agency could obtain you or your child's data. This is not some "conspiracy theory", it's just a simple fact.



Sammi, in some states it is illegal to implant chips into humans. For example, in the state of Wisconsin they have banned forced human chipping.



Here's the statute.

What's so shocking about this, is that some americans are so psychologically conditioned via the television, that they feel the "boogie man" is lurking upon every corner. Yet they have the nerve to claim that others are "paranoid" and "conspiracy theorists."

I don't have any real knowledge of them but certain states require you to have your livestock chipped and I'm just as against that so no, my child would not get one unless I was assured of several privacy issues. I think chipping my child would be conceding to my fear and I don't want us to live like that. However, if it makes you feel better about your child being away from you, by all means.

No I dont know anyone that has done that, I understand your feelings. I have 6 children, my youngest are 4 year old triplets. Everytime I hear a story of some child being abducted I think how scary the world is. I will have to investigate this....you have given me something to think about

there something appealing about knowing i would always be able to locate my child if something (God forbid) should ever happen. but on the other side of it, it's a tad creepy. too x-files. i'll take my chances.

I don't think they put the gps in the child. I looked it up on Google. One of the web site i pulled up was in the form of a watch that you put on your child. In my case it wouldn't work because my 4 yr old will just remove it. I'm also looking for something like that. I think it is a great idea.

only thing i can find on the web is a watch that tracks children. Sounds good to me but as they turn into their teenage years they will be stubborn and no want it on them. I heard awhile back they would start putting a chip in their wrist but i cant find anything on it unfortunatly hopefully technoligy works itself out before she gets older.



until then i wil use the watch they run about 180$ and should work great.

Do you know how much they cost and how it works??



EDIT: Ignore people, there was just a little 8 year old girl about an hour away from me that was kidnapped, raped and killed....by her Sunday School teacher. It is a big thing going on right now, her memorial was today actually...I'm with you on this one.

Here: I found a website on it, if I find more I will post it:

Ok, looks like the one company that did do it has put the project up for awhile due to complaints, so it isn't available in the US right now. But it was approaved technically in 2004 by the FDA, so it might come back one day after the recession probably.

Good Luck!! I am going to keep a watch on when they come back out cause I want my kids to have one too. I figure if I am doing nothing wrong, I have nothing to worry about (gov't and all) and anyways, if something ever happened to my kids, I sure as hell will be happy I have it. If i ever find anything out, i will e-mail you the info and I would appreciate you doing the same for me.

RE:

I've been thinking about it and just wondering if anyone else has, if they've found them useful, if they told their kids, what they told their kids, and how their kids feel about it? Also how much do they cost, and are there any problems that can arise because of them?

Out of 800,000 kids missing annually the good news is that most of them are found. The bad news is around 250,000 are never seen again. In as little as 23 months half a million vanish forever. Where could you possibly hide 500,000 milk jugs? Children are a lot bigger than a gallon jug. That's enough flesh to fill two county landfills. I believe most kids get lost in remote areas and die of dehydration and animals eat them, slip into trenches, climb into storm drains or drown in nearby lakes and canals. And worse, they are abducted, raped and murdered. We need these chips inserted. Preferably in the buttocks or abdomen. Only the state police and parents should decide where. Regardless of expense it's definitely a good investment. Why is this still a questionable solution in 2015?

I was kidnapped at 14 and sold into sex slavery (from a government grouphome) and I am a Christian I think this is a great idea. What is wrong with wanting ultimate satisfaction that your child is safe. This has nothing to do with the mark of the beast. The end times are going to be revolved on your choice of your soul or life if you even believe in one. To choose you have to be given a choice it has nothing to do with the mark.

Dear Person,



I have a statement to be recorded at your website about me being tracked, heard, harassed and stimulated by dream movies.



I have been going through this for the past five years and could not get off from this.



I have made the legal complaints to police stations and legal departments but still they have not heard me.



I am telling you this because i am aware about the authenticity of the work you guys are involved in tracing the modern scientific development of such aids or devices used to track, capture and destroy people.



I hope you would go into these details and would achieve the truth of how people use this technology to trace people and use dream animation technology to harass them.



I have been socio-political victim of my countries' politician. After i was interviewed at national talent hunt by the Indias top most politician Rahul Gandhi...all this started. They kept the Presidents's tag on me and the inferior politicians got me trapped in this web with the nexus of filmwalas of lower productions.



They use technology to disempower me and weaken me so that i succumb to their pressure they use in my body digitally and pain the muscle continuously.



At night they show the dream movies with their technology about my past with the same ideas repeated continuously. They try to distort the reality.



I am writing this full awareness of the fact that such statements made makes one think whether i have gone abnormal. No let me put clearly that i have not discussed this with anyone as much and know that would be considered in vain. Also would be considered been gone mad.



However, please do take me seriously and my case affirmatively. You will get the substance of such crimes taking place in the world.



They have used silicon or some micro particles which have been fixed in the body and are tracing through it. They have further advanced the usage of this criminal technology in digital way to destroy me.



i want is to confirm from you guys the truth in use of such technology and its effect.



Please do call me on 9221353566(use indias's code before dialing)



Regards.

I feel the same as you do about protecting our children but that is not the best of ideas and i don't know what would be either but i don't exspect for children will take any chip in them. Right now they use them in pets and wild animals. Do you know what would happen if the Government put micro chips in everyone? check out the link i put weather or not you chose to believe If you look at every thing that is going on around you in the world you would know something is not right and we are heading the wrong way. Good luck

I read about a family who volunteered for this a few years back. It also keeps medical information stored. And now people in countries known for kidnapping are starting to do it also. I'll look for the article. I remember a start up fee and a monthly fee as well...



On a side note, I have my dog microchipped and when she was in the puppy phase and chewed off her collar and tags and then proceeded to escape the yard. She was picked up by the police and taken to the pound, where she was scanned, they called me and within 1 hour of being scanned, we were reunited.

i hve done like 10 googe searches looking for these but as far as i see they dont exist i see where they are being thought about and worked on but none available yet. i think its a horrible idea because with all technology some physco figures out how to hack it and i dont want a predator being able to see exactly where my child is sleeping. they could get them and hurt them before you ever knew they were gone. ugh that gave me chills.scary stuff. But to each his own. as for the hacking part how do you use the tracking system?





as for saying the question wasnt for people to spout their paranoia is pretty ironic since you want to implant a chip into your child is about as paraniod as it gets and everyone knows what GPS is and how it works its not a new thing they have used them on animlas for years and putting it in your child is gross.

No. They're children, not pets or property.



Your child is forty times more likely to die in a car accident (and statistically, that'll probably never happen either) than to be abducted. Why not have her fitted with airbags as well? Oh, and you'd better make her wear a lifejacket 24/7, in case of flash flooding.

2009-04-16 15:01:09 UTC
you know, in todays world that would be the best thing ever, I want one now, i just didnt know they existed. Although the thought of doing that is kind of over the top, I guess I would only be okay with it if we could take it back out when she became a certain age.





I have to ask this j-lynn person a question, what the heck is your problem, if your child got kidnapped you wouldnt want them to be able to identify them with prints or dna?? even if it was the only way to find them, what kind of mother are you, are you asking for them to be kidnapped????I pity your children

Ok, I may get loads of thumbs-down for this but I'm going to give my opinion anyway.



Why do that to your child? It's just another way for the government to be able to track you. I refuse to even have my children fingerprinted for the "child safe ID kits" they pass out at school. I don't ever give my child's DNA sample for it either.



I look at it this way, I want to hold onto what *precious little* freedom and PRIVACY we still have from the government. Why give them a new and better way to track your every move???



Yes, it would come in handy if your child is ever abducted, God forbid, but I'm sorry if I just can't seem to justify it by looking at it that way.
