Missing Children: Should We Make GPS Tracking Mandatory?

There is a sickening trend throughout the world that is truly under appreciated through the eyes of society; a society that's becoming more and more 'overly preoccupied'.  What the hell am I talking about?  Kids.  Their world abduction rates are skyrocketing and it seems as though no government(s), company, or medical institution is attempting to implement the technology (that we already have) to help save their lives.

This is extremely disturbing to say the least, but it's also a sociological malady that isn't going away anytime soon; unless we start a movement and band together for these unfortunate children.  So how do we implement a strategy that can really assist these kids when they're human targets for the evil and sick of our world?  GPS tracking for kids, coupled with the Amber Alert program on a worldwide scale, could reduce missing kids substantially.

What am I actually proposing here?

Love and care....let's start from that concept and work ourselves outwards.  You've heard the old sayings that kids are our future....and without the children, our existence is limited etc. etc. It's all true, but as with world hunger, there simply isn't enough being done to harness all of the resources we have at our disposal.  As a result, children are being subjected to atrocities around the world on a daily basis that are literally unspeakable.  'They need public awareness on a massive scale' and they should be issue 'number one' on every governments legislative calendar.    

Human Trafficking and it's Gnarly Proliferation:

According to the International Center for Missing and Exploited Children  8 million children will go missing this year and another 2 million will be sexually exploited.  These statistics are really mind boggling considering what eventually happens or becomes of the kids involved in that 8 million. Are they part of the 'daisy chain' of human trafficking networks that have seemingly sprouted up in the past 10-20 years?  Are they kept by their abductors or worse yet, killed? 

So how can we truly attempt to drastically curb those stats and keep our worlds kids from harm?  The world governments need to do more by banding together and pooling, not only their respective financial resources, but medical geniuses to invent/manufacture a legitimate GPS tracking system via surgical implantation for every kid that is born in the coming years and thereafter.  

What Would Be the Technical Specifics? 

In a perfect world designed to maintain the integrity and safety of our worlds children, there would be a tiny, 'eighteen year life' GPS tracking device that would be implanted in a secret body location that only the child's parents and medical records are privy to.  This designated body location would be agreed upon by the parents and medical caregiver shortly after birth.  Now, when the baby is healthy enough (perhaps right away) to take on this minimally invasive procedure, they would be have a tiny tracking device implanted into their respective body, tested for accuracy thereafter, and documented thoroughly for precise record keeping. 

Where Would Safe Places Be On a Young Child's Body to Implant Such a Device?

  There is probably some debate as to where would be the best location for a child to have this 'all important' attachment.  However, my brain started to swirl with ideas before writing this post and here is what I came up with: Under the rib cage; just inside the lowest portion and perhaps attached with a high grade medical glue or utilizing an extremely reliable affixing strategy designed to screw in somehow.  Another site would be on the inside of the upper arm; maybe within the bicep muscle itself. Additional areas would be sites like the calf, maybe hidden inside the arch of the foot, or under the scalp with no protrusion or identifiable bumps.

What else could we do? 

Warnings to the weirdos, sickos, psychos, freaks, and bastards who work for the high-level human traffickers.  You're probably saying, "What the hell are you talking about bro?"  Well maybe not those exact words, but I get it.  The warnings would be primarily placed on significant areas whereby (from a visual standpoint), the perpetrator would be deterred by a yellow and black 'new world symbol'.  This symbol could be circular or whatever; but the point is that it would be bright and very detectable to the human eye.  These symbols could and should be placed on the child's backpack, their shoes, necklaces, bracelets, and jackets. The world governments would then issue 'massive press releases' indicating the usage of this symbol on children as far as the eye can see.  This world symbol would then be a first line indicator to a potential child abductor to back off; that this kid is being tracked and every movement he or she makes is being documented in a sensitive government server somewhere.  Eventually all kids would be wearing this symbol (as unattractive as it may be) to deter their own abduction.

In addition, a lot of kids in the world don't have cell phones or access to hi-tech gadgetry that could subsequently alert (with the push of an emergency button) their own abduction.  There could be proactive measures created by a coop of parents, medical professionals, and GPS tracking system designers to assist in setting up virtual perimeters. These virtual perimeters would be so that if a child who doesn't have access to an emergency or a panic button has suddenly breached beyond a specific area, that their GPS implant device would trip/trigger an alert indicating his or her abduction.  This could be done by default as well for all kids (even the wealthier ones with phones and such).

The major point is that the statistics of that many children succumbing to such evil each year, is nothing short of ridiculous!

Just think back when you were a kid.  Think how the concept of life and your vision of what it was going to be was.  I bet it was beautiful....probably thoughts of happiness and love throughout. Like a nirvana that your immature brain inevitably steered towards to grasp at something you saw yourself eventually becoming enveloped in as an adult.  Now think of that demonic man who could have snatched you up at a moments notice; perhaps when you were lost in those serene thoughts of the future!  This is happening as I write this....and it will continue until we 'wake the hell up' as a society and make this a 'forefront world issue'.
This post is dedicated to all of the stolen innocence that was ripped away from every child throughout the world who has been abducted, their sickened parents who become lost in their own personal haze, and the people like you and I who actually demand for something to be done!

A Final Thought:

There is simply too much new motivation (human trafficking, organ trafficking, modern slavery, minor sex industry) and new markets that have recently come about to exploit kids, that we as a society have to deliver a counter-blow back in the face of the bullies.  These technological GPS tracking devices need to be invented/implemented immediately and major world funds need to be allocated to creating such 'life saving' electronics. There is no place for this kind of B.S. in our society; and of all people, kids, shouldn't have to 'bear the brunt' of these demented minds that continually exploit them because of their perverse intent. 

Share with friends and family; let's build awareness! Also, forward this post to your legislator in your own respective state/area of the world. Let them know that you care about the worlds kids and their welfare and that it's a MAJOR issue that needs to be addressed immediately. Moreover, let them know that you feel that it's imperative that lawmakers of the world need to come together (not just the U.S. or U.K.), pool their financial resources, make this a safe and accurate tracking device, and create a worldwide logo for near-term future children who aren't born yet.

The implementation of such a streamlined tracking device would undoubtedly put many people behind bars who prey on kids and send a 'big time' message to all of the sick industries who are involved in such unsavory acts.  This in turn would significantly curb that evil, but it has to be done right!  The device has to be randomly placed about kids; not just in one place so that a perpetrator could somehow remove it immediately after abduction. Lastly, this device could eventually be removed (for privacy purposes) after the child reaches adult age (usually 18). 

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this multipronged approach; maybe you could shed some additional light.
