Have you heard of Apple SafeTrack? Of course not. It's fake and gay.
And a microchip won't help trafficking victims unless it can be read from AT LEAST 30 feet away. The microchips in your credit card and pets have a range on inches.
The Georgia program isn't new. They've been doing it since 2008 or earlier. It doesn't involve microchips, so perhaps it is poorly named. I still wouldn't trust them with my child.
Georgia Masons are presenting the GACHIP program free of charge to the public. This program is offered as a public service and as our gift to the citizens of our state. GACHIP provides a valuable tool for the parents or guardians of a child — a small computer disk that includes:
• Full color digital photographs showing various poses of the child. These color photographs can be circulated by the police to the media in the case of abduction and can be used in the Amber Alert Program.
• A complete set of digital fingerprints. Everyone’s fingerprints are unique and are a well known tool for recovery, investigation and identification.
• Information about the child including distinguishing features such as hair and eye color,scars, etc. The disk will also contain contact information for parents or guardians.
• DNA Swab. The DNA Swabs provided are the unique DNA of the Child which is important for investigation, recovery and identification. The saliva from the DNA swab provides a pure, exclusive scent, which can be used by tracking dogs in helping to find lost children.
All of the identifying information collected at the event about the child is given to the child’s family. The GACHIP program retains only the permission slip that must be signed prior to participation in the event. All other data is permanently erased after the child’s document is prepared. Privacy is our number one criteria.
