I know of one young man who walks for miles, he has autism and he wears a tracker

This is something I debate in my head a lot, in terms of morality, as the parent of a child with learning disabilities. I know there are tech companies currently developing under-the-skin GPS implants that have a battery life of years before needing replaced. On the one hand, I think there are some big moral questions around "chipping" a human being. On the other, I know my daughter is very vulnerable and is likely to go on to be a vulnerable teen and adult. On balance, for her safety I can't rule it out as something that I'd consider.
I would definitely give her a pocket GPS though.
