If the government required it, would you allow it?

Do you have a chip in you right now?
No, No, No.

Hell no. Were this actually to happen I'd imagine you'd get a lot of kids sticking metal objects in electricity sockets.

I think it should be allowed. so much kids kidnapped this year, With a chip inside them, they would have had more chance to be found.

Thats like saying "Lets ask children if they want to drink, if they do let them." Parent's shouldn't have to get confirmation from the kid. They're just protecting their kids, which is something most parents do.
As everyone keep pointing out, any kidnapper will simply remove the chip. You're basically inflicting the addition of a painful, unsteralised knife wound to the list of horrors the kid will go through. Oh, you're also attaching a huge locator beacon to your kid for anyone who wants to kidnap them.

Just plain stupid on all levels.
1. How would they know?
2. How would they locate it?
3. How would they be able to abuse said chip?

You can't just say it'd be harmful without stating facts that it would.

1. If chips became standard in all under 18s the kidnappers would know.

2. The chip would most likely be near the surface. If there is any metal in the chip a metal detector or possibly even a magnet could locate it. There would also be a small scar or incision mark somewhere on the child.

3. If the Government were in charge of tracking they could very easily abuse this privileged information, imagine the Nazi's had chips ...Anne Frank wouldn't have a best-seller.

Technically, this is legal if the parents do it.

It's NOT legal for the government to require it.

Personally, I think this is a horrible idea, but I know several parents that are paranoid enough to do this if it becomes affordable and available.

Are parents allowed to inflict unnecessary surgery on their kids in the USA?

If they are minors and the procedure does no harm to the kids, then yes.  Children are essentially the property of their parents in this country.

If the child objects to it, do they have the right to force it on the kid?

It depends....  There are cases when a social worker can remove a child from a family if abuse can be determined.  If the child is 16 or 17, he/she can become an "emancipated" minor.  In other words, they can become a legal adult and decide who to live with.

Aside from that, parents really have the power.

We'd still let them out of the country to go to an Al-Queda training camp...

the chips should be able to be turned on and off by the person that is wearing it so that if something happens to that person and they need help and no one knows where they are, they can turn it on and people will be able to find them.  i would only wear one if it gave me the option to turn it on/off whenever i needed it
If you were knocked out, killed  or made immobile, you can have fun trying to turn it on..


EDIT:spelling mistake.
