People with dementia wear gps wrist trackers when in hospital. It's far too easy for them to go unnoticed and walk off of the wards otherwise, as someone that's been through the worry of my father being in that situation a few times I think the trackers in that case are a brilliant addition and would also be a huge help for families that have vulnerable children.

Chips under the skin though is too far imo.

Thats a great idea I'm all for that and those trackers could be fashioned into a peice of jewellery for teens. I'm sure I remember a few years ago backpacks coming out for kids with trackers in...

..Microchipping of humans would only work over short distances...I’m just reading up on it and it’s not something atm that would be developed enough to be able to consider in this context...there would also be factors like the terrain...it was very dense forest..and that would have meant the effectiveness of the chip would have been very limited, if effective at all...also that she was over 1 mile away from the resort...it is something to be given thought to though for families in care of vulnerable adults...thoughts of her being alive for around a week and dying of prolonged starvation and stress......unbearable thought...

The last lines of this post really hits home.

Listening to the results of the autopsy was distressing for me to hear.
For those who knew her and for her family this is beyond any kind of imagining the crushing devastation they must feel now.

Starving to death is horrible to the extreme.
To think a meal, water would have avoided this torture and excruciatingly pain filled loss.

It's awful, just thinking about it.
Horrible.
