All Children Under 12 To Be Electronically Tagged In Belgium

[TRUTH]

Brussels: Electronic identity cards for all children under 12 are to be introduced in Belgium. They will bear a code designed to allow parents of missing children to be traced instantly.

The announcement came as Belgian police continued to search for two young girls who vanished from the street outside a bar in the middle of the night a fortnight ago.

Though the ID cards would be useless in protecting children from an abductor or adult determined to do them harm, they are intended to offer a secure way of making sure a lost child can be reunited with family.

Belgians have been greatly sensitive to issues of missing children since the case a decade ago of Marc Dutroux, a paedophile rapist and killer who kidnapped six children, killing four of them, before being caught.

The new children's cards will carry a special code number and instructions on how to call a central missing child hotline.

Oh its not stupid at all...these things never are...

"Oh but an evil person would just throw the childs card away as they abducted them!"

"Oh yes, that it a "problem", isnt it?"

"what can we do about it?"

"yes, what can we do?"

"What about in an item of clothing, or a braclet?"

"Hmmm...same difficulty really isnt it?"

"Yes...."

"I know!"

"What, what?"

"Well... what if we used those microchips that have been developed for use with people with health risks to ensure no mistakes at hospitals"

"I say! Thats a novel idea! Do you think that might work?"

"YES! You know I think it will! And to be on the safe side, parents can have their child chipped at the same time as vaccinations...or maybe even at birth!"

"Gosh YES! Thats the answer!"

"Voluntary of course"

"oh of course...though youd have to be a negligent parent to refuse to protect you child"

"Well, yes...its tantamount to child abuse, if you think about it"

"Yes...."

"and then we will be able to recover their tattered mutilated bodies, wherever they end up!"

"Great! You know, thats such a relief...."

Very true...

If someone was going to the trouble to kidnap and murder a child...I'm sure they wouldn't think twice about cutting them open within the first 2 minutes to remove the chip...

Which lessens the survival chances of the child...
