Comment

It isn't the system that is at fault - purely the risk of the information collected being abused. If the only people able to access the childrens location was their parents - as a parent of 4 kids I would love to know I could find them if abducted within minutes.

As for shops and clothing etc. if the information collected was only used to track stolen items what's the problem. If the stores are tracking people to assess their shopping methods it is a breach of privacy.

Many people now track expensive cars - the tracker is only used if the car is stolen - surely if this were applied to kids and stolen items they would only be tracked if there was a problem.

I can't see a problem with that
