When I was a child, neither my parents nor the servants saw me from after breakfast until the dinner bell. Of course, I was the oldest of twelve, only half of whom were expected to grow up.

Things have changed; get over it.

If you need to put a "GPS" on your child,then somewhere along the line you as a parent may have lost your way a long time ago.

I wish I had had this option when my daughter was a child. She was always up to something. She committed suicide 2 years ago. I wish I could have know what was going on.

Tracking your child will only make them better lairs. It won't get them to stop being around drugs or bad influences. And who's to say that they won't leave the device somewhere else? It's distancing the parents from the children. As for being stolen, my parents paid for a tracking device in my cell phone that they can see only if it's an emergancy.

I agree with it because look at the AMBER ALERT is on every billboard throughout the naton. it only goes so far, so by having a gps on a child will be able to help police,and parents to find there childern faster.

Nan, That is awful. A GPS would only have told you where she was and maybe who she was with but not what she was going through her mind. That is a hard thing to hear and I am sorry.

I don't think the reason for this is system is to spy on children. It's nothing wrong with wanting to ensure the safety of a child. I feel it can serve a great purpose for a child that may become abducted or severely injured. If a child gets into a serious situation and are in a position that hinders them to contact anyone, the device would serve as a great aid for these reasons! Let face it there are a lot people out there that pray on children for whatever disgusting reason and because of that I feel it's a great Idea and I support it!!

I TOTALLY support he GPS...it's the lack of interest and involvement of the parents as to many of the problems with the kids today. Why is there such a drug problem today? (Guess that trust is out the window). It's outside influences, lack of parents knowing what's going on with their child (lack of interest and concern), the lack of respect to parents and each other. The world is VERY different now with abductions and sexual predators. A parent needs to be many steps ahead of their child, and any extra help is welcomed. We need to protect our children. Has nothing to do with lack of trust in them...it has to do with this crazy world they are growing up in. Privacy issue? There's too much freedom, too much privacy--results: drugs, unwanted pregnancies, abductions, gang fights--bullying, criminals, etc... Get over it! Drastic times calls for drastic measures!

sorry about the mistake I meant "Let's face it there are a lot of people out there that pay on children for what ever reason and because of that I feel it's a great idea and I support it!

i think it would be a good option, maybe as a mother i'm just over protective. of course my husband thinks it's total surrender and controll, by a govermental source, and my daughter thinks i'd be spying on her, but .. did you ever loose your 4 yr old kid at the Zoo, or disney world? mine went missing in the disney animal kindgom,my husband was useless, as were our walkie talkies, and cell phones. we let her run around in the enclosed play place, that's the idea of this area, she was there, but was in a place where i didn't see here and she could not hear me calling her. the staff locked down the area till she was located some 45 minutes later....
then i think about Natalie Hollaway, and the recent young lady, finally found in the Scranton area of PA, if a device was implanted, authorities would have zeroed in within minutes. instead of waiting forever to find a body for closure. of course we raised our daughter with good and decent morals, and hope that she knows the difference between right and wrong. as a parent and an adult, i think of the "what if", like, an accident, a kidnapping, a plane crash, or a terrorist attack, etc.. i would implant a GPS in my daughter in a heartbeat, just for the reason that there are alot of twisted people in this world, and we as parents can't always be there, and if she can be located in these instances, then why not? and yes, i had one of those wrist leashes when she was a toddler, infact i had a few. of course i got strange looks, but i at least had my kid at arms reach. especially in the mall or the zoo. i have friends who would let their kids just wander off, while they sat and chatted, or ate lunch, and it ruined many an outing because their kids were always missing or in an area where they shouldn't have been, and were returned by security, lifeguards, or restaurant personel, in my book that's bad parenting.

This seems another indicator that we are living more and more in a culture motivated by 'Fear and attempting to control all the variables. Our daughter recently became a new parent, and much of what she has been told by her pediatrician has been 'fear based advice - no blankets in the crib, no sleeping on the baby's belly, read labels on baby toys, check out the safety of the car seat you buy online......she is afraid to think for herself for 'fear of endangering her child. The new style of Helicopter Parenting (hovering) is not allowing for a child to grow and trust themselves to make decisions, to learn common sense or to understand consequences for their actions. If they are speeding, perhaps paying the fine would be the proper response, rather than the parent showing up to fight the ticket for their child. Teaching them that driving the speed limit is what is safe and required by law and restricting driving privileges long before attaching a monitor to your car as surveillance seems the appropriate approach. We have to teach our youth the life lessons that cannot be taught by a false sense of security wrapped up in a monitoring device. Ultimately, as a parent, what we are doing throughout our child's developmental years, is preparing them to leave us, be independent and support themselves. While that is a constant struggle within our hearts, where we want to hold them closer, it is the only way that we prepare them for their future. While technology continues inventing more and more communication devices, there is nothing that has, or ever will, take the place of a face to face conversation, where a relationship is built, where we get to really know one another...where trust is developed, risks are taken, mistakes are made and forgiven and we grow, together with our children, walking alongside of them on their journey - holding their hand, not shackling them to our sides, or implanting a chip in their body. We have never have a missing child, thank God, that is the only time I can imagine a useful purpose for this device.

True enough we could tell our children all day about what they need to do and how they have to experience life on their own. Understand that there are certain events and things that could happen that not even us as parents can prepare them for. There was a case where a teenager was abducted and her father was trying to get the cell phone company to trace her cell phone. They wouldn't do it at first but eventually did.
unfortunately by the time they tracked her location she was dead. If the company had of track her location earlier she could have been saved!
Understand people this is a new age and era! Things are not the way they were when we as adults was children. There is nothing wrong with
letting them be children but you have to be realistic and stay a step ahead. You always have to think of the what if's and try to prepare for them. Not one person is immune to tragedy!

Nice people do not invite small children to lie, cheat or steal or troopsmto mutiny.

You can go for cereals with milk. Have you even discussed weight loss diets with a dietician. I assure you that a professional dietician will help you to choose the best one of all weight loss diets.

Thanks for the great post,i love to read articles that are informative and beneficial in nature. You're not going to find too many baby boomers who'd list the Arctic Monkeys among their favorite bands, just like you won't find too many Generation Y'ers who'll profess their love of James Taylor or Smokey Robinson and the Miracles.

You raise a lot of questions in my head; you wrote a good post, but this post is also thought provoking, and I will have to ponder it some more; I will be back soon. If you just only just treated yourself to one of these recently, you're probably knocking yourself out playing with all the apps you could get your hands on (did you know there was an iPhone app that helps you cheat on a partner?).

Nice post

Great website...and cool article man...thanx for the great post...keep on posting such article... If they are going through a growth spurt, they need to eat more often and in higher quantities and sleep more.

Some of the duties of SiRT1 is to repair DNA and protect the cells against free radicals, germs, toxins, UV radiation and inflammation. It's a common practice for quick loss where patients can deprive themselves or salt and drink lots of fluids for some quick weight loss.

Great article

This is a really good read for me. Must admit that you are one of the coolest bloggers I ever saw. Thanks for posting this useful article. As the site continued to grow, I had more and more companies offer to advertise on my site, which just perpetuated the cycle of growth.

Hey - Nice blog, just looking around some blogs, seems a pretty nice platform you are using. I'm currently using Wordpress for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run. Anything in particular you would recommend about it?

Hey I love your style I will subscribe for your feed please keep posting! A few years later, I received a baseball that was autographed by Pete Rose.

You ought to really think about working on developing this site into a major authority in this market. You clearly have a grasp handle of the matters everybody is looking for on this site anyways and you could surely even make a buck or two off of some advertising. I would explore following recent topics and raising the amount of write ups you put up and I guarantee you’d begin seeing some amazing targeted traffic in the near future. Just a thought, good luck in whatever you do!

Great article

You made some good points there. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree with your blog. This is Your Brain on Drugs” and showed a frying pan with an egg in it.

There is a championship golf course there unlike any other that I have ever seen and it sits on a peninsula with breathtaking views that juts out into the Pacific.
