Schumer Pushes Law to Put Trackers on Autistic Children
BREITBART ^ | BREITBART NEWS

Posted on 01/27/2014 12:07:23 PM PST by Morgana

Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has proposed a far-reaching new law that would force taxpayers to cover the costs of placing tracking devices on autistic children after 14-year-old autistic child Avonte Oquendo was found dead last week. The tracking devices would not be implanted, but would instead be attached to watches, ankle bracelets, belts, or shoelaces. “The program would be completely voluntary for parents and run by local law enforcement,” Schumer’s office announced.

"If Obama were to achieve something good, he would not claim that Bush did it. It's not in human nature! Solomon built the temple, not Hezekiah."

Fixed it. It was missing a word.

Law won’t let us send my 9 year old to school with her .380

Yeah, not us either. (Just kidding, I know you live in a rough neighborhood ... of the world.)

In the retirement community where my parents live, it's not unusual for Alzheimer's patients to be tagged by their family or their care facility. My father isn't, but his building is locked up 24/7.

With this technology available, I would certainly use it if I had a child who was particularly vulnerable to getting lost. In fact, I'll mention it to my friend who has a child with Down Syndrome who is a "runner." She probably already knows, but it can't hurt.

“The hated, EXEMPT, treasonous, whoring, drunk, ambien-laced
US Congress should be tracked publicly along with
the $$$$$$$$ they make for passing “Laws”
for others, from which THEY are always EXEMPT.”

Term limits would work so much better.

Voluntary for the parents, involuntary for the taxpayers.

To force taxpayers to foot the bill. If the parents don’t care enough to cover the costs, why should we?

Gee Chucky, why not a star or some other tatoo or, better yet, a serial number on the the underside of their forearm.

Chuck you, Schumer!

In the late 1990s, Micro$loth Word didn’t have many proper nouns in its dictionary ... it offered up “schemer” and “scummier” as corrected spellings for “Schumer”.

Autistic first, seniors next, those deemed by government to have mental problems, tea party members deemed by government to be terrorists and/or racists, etc..

What Chuck E Cheez REALLY wants is tracking devices on all gun owners, Tea Party members, Oathkeepers, veterans, Christian worshippers, etc.

If the public allows tagging of autism victims then the rest won’t be far behind.

Without federal oversight “young daughter hunters” will get their frequency and track them all the more easily.
