Maryland bill proposes GPS tracking of truant students February 12, 2007
Posted by Rich in : GPS tracking and privacy, GPS tracking children , trackbackWow. I’m a fan of GPS tracking, but maybe this is going too far. A legislator in Maryland has proposed GPS monitoring for truant students — repeat offenders anyway.
Maryland Delegate Doyle Niemann (D-Prince George’s Co.) says it’s not enough to simply hold parents accountable when their children don’t show up for school.
“They’re not in control of their children. They take them to school, the kid walks in the front door and then out the back door. It doesn’t make any sense to continue to beat on the parents,” he says.
Meanwhile, Japan is going gaga over GPS tracking of kiddies — to the tune of $212 million. Via Digg.
