Where do you folk see this going? Parental control? As in the Orwell reference, to state control and most likely through the schools?

I like to extrapolate, sometimes to extremes. I don't think a liberal government would allow parents to have more control over kids, when the parents are not trained for it as school administrators and teachers are.

Schools are much like prisons now, physically (the newer ones have big roll-down steel doors to isolate sections of the building for “security”), and they have lockdowns for various “safety” reasons, just like prisons.

Kids are required to do “community service” just like parolees and those criminals not sent to jail.

So why not mandatory tracking bracelets or collars or ankle wrapped units, just like criminals?

You'd know right where the kid (and later adult) was all the time so government could keep them safe.

Like the second “Aliens”, they found all the colonists down in the air processing plant because that all, every one, had tracking beacons.

How can government keep you safe and healthy if they don't know where you are, who you are with, what you are doing, and what you are eating? You may also be engaging in risky speech, listening to risky speech, or possibly even be exposed to hate speech!
