Tagging children

perhaps, this is the most important post i will ever put out. last week, i saw a cute litte boy wailing in a crowded bus station. the boy obiviously had got seperated from his parents who were to board a bus to a far away place. i asked him if his parents had a mobile and he said "no". i was in a hurry and luckily someone responsible was at hand to help. (ofcourse , i wonder if i would have helped even if i had all the time in the world!)

the incident set me thinking. why cant parents but a tag on children every time they are taken out - atleast on a long trip. cant the young and the old be tagged whenever there is a need.
taking the arguement further, as and when technology based tags like RFID become affordable - why cant they be insetered under our skins so we are tagged till and after a certain age -.

may be , privacy groups may have an issue about it.

They should see the fear on a lost childs face.
