I definitey think it is wrong to chip your child. i dont really trust the whole computer thing in a childs body. its not safe plus i think you should be able to take care of your child enough to know where they are...

No i wouldn't.
I don't think it's okay for cats or other aninmals because it's against there wishes. I doubt any of the cats which are tagged with a microship would really want it.
I'm sure there's other ways of keeping trace of our kids without putting these into them.

Never. because I don't need to keep track of my children in this way as they are well brought up and it is a terrible thought to chip them

i agree. i also believe it is terrible as in the Bible it says that when the antichrist comes and it is nearing the end of the world ppl wil get chips and the '666' mark... maybe this new 'technology' is the start of that...

I think it is terrible to chip your child. You should be able to trust them and feel like you can let them go out without having to be able to trace them.
I certainly wouldnt want my parents knowing where I was all the time.

i completely agree... there ARE other ways of knowing where ur children are, and if u bring them up well, you should be able to trust them hence know wer they are at all times.

i think here there's a difference between putting in a chip on them to know where your teenager is hanging out and putting a chip in them incase your child ever get's kidnapped. for safety issues and that alone (there would be no spying). i would definately do it. wouldn't you want to be able to find your kid if they were kidnapped.

thats exactly my point. im trying to get people to see it from different angles. if your child was kidnapped or had gone missing of course u'd want to find them... and thats when the chip would come in handy... but would u be willing to put a chip in your child ?? ...
its a very confusing decision... what would you do ?

I don't mind putting a chip in my children not for the purpose of tracking them but for safety reasons if they are lost or kidnapped. I don't like the idea of tracking them - if you can track them, but cannot win their hearts, what can you do? However such an implementation requires considering complex issues including when should the government be allowed to track the child? Only when he is lost or kidnapped?

The job of a parent becomes more and more difficult the more young people win freedoms and the earlier society and culture enable them to make individual decisions . A parent is supposed to provide and protect and to guide , all the time while respecting boundaries to what can be dictated to children .
So anything that will help with getting feedback from my child's life ,with minimum time investment and active intrusion , is a welcome help and advantage that I would be eagre to utilize .
Of course I would be concerned with the radiation side effects if any .

I'm going to give you a weird religious freak response to your question. I believe the whole microchip thing smacks of the "mark of the beast" that will come in the future. I think this is laying the groundwork for that, though I don't believe the technology today is what the bible was talking about, but future versions may be.
So, I would never have my child (if I had one) chipped for any reason unless it was something that would save his/her life. I will keep a watchful eye on my kid to make sure they don't get into any trouble.

OMG no!! I'd never do that to my kids...that IMO is a complete and total invasion for starters nto to mention, what exactly does that say to your child, what message is that sending?? "oh sorry hun I love ya but dont trust you as far as I can spit so I'm having this little tracker put into your body..hope you dont mind!".....thats just STUPID IMO....

i dont think there is o need for me to put something like that in my child since i am not a big political figure that needs extra security or even famous or a celebrity.i dont need it and so is my child.its better to watch my kid the old fashioned way where there is more bonding between me and my kid.
