How do you plan to attach a homing device to a kid? After the first
water-hole jump-in or bumpy-ride with a scotter, such a device will stop
working for sure. Kids are rough riders...
And, anyway, where is it going to be attached? Will it have harmful microwave
radiation?
My opinion is that such a device will plainly not work.
But, in the end... do we really want to "nineteen-eightyfour" our kids? Do we
want to protect our kids so much that, when confronted with the real world,
they will no understand it?
My 2 cents.
