Would you put a microchip in your child to protect them?

KCFalcon59 · 06-07-2007, 08:30 PM

With the tragic death of the Overland Park girl, would you consider putting a microchip in your children to keep them safe from predatory scumbags?

Interesting topic... would depend on the safety of doing so, who has access to it and things like that.

I would consider it if I had a daughter and if there could be an alert any time her pants become unbuttoned

KCFalcon59 · 06-07-2007, 08:33 PM

These ****s scare me to death. I have a beautiful young daughter. There are so many of these worthless human beings walking around that I wonder if it isn't a good idea to do this.

Demonpenz · 06-07-2007, 08:35 PM

there is probably a 100 times more of a chance of her dying in a car wreck.

I understand your pain. I started a "would you give your child body armor" after the ward parkway mall murders.

I have 2 sons and 1 daughter and sadly there is no way to protect them 24/7... not with a chip, full-time body guard... nothing.

On yes, but not in.

Good answer. I agree.

No, I would just teach my son how to safely carry and use a firearm.

crazycoffey · 06-07-2007, 08:37 PM

No, I choose to protect them the old fashion way, "know where they are, be there for them, don't let them get cell phones or unsupervised computer privialges too early, make a few sacrifices in my own life to make sure they get a good start" mentality.

That is not always possible. Being divorced, I can't be there to keep an eye on them at all times. I worry when they aren't with me.

Me too, I live in a different state now, but I am still very active in their lives. As they grow, I will make random trips, I will keep making contact with their teachers, and while I don't particularly like their mother, I also know she has their best interest at heart and is a good - hands on parent.

I am not going to put a "chip" in them just to give me a false sense of security. Parenting is work, there are not short cuts in it, even as divorced fathers. The road is longer and harder, but if you walk the road one step at a time you will get to the top. The "chip" is like asking scotty to beam you up, it doesn't work that way.

BTW, being worried is normal. But you can only control so much.

I agree with what you say. Though I don't have faith that their mother has their best interests at heart. She is a very selfish human being and constantly puts herself first. I don't doubt her love for our kids, but she does put herself first.

I would have to think long and hard before I went this route. This world gets more frightening every day.
