Imagine stopping at a highway rest stop with a restless child and having the attendant call Homeland Security about a possible case of child abduction! What proof is there that you are the "owner;" the parent?
In the article, "The Coming Child Registration and Licensing Act," we said that there will be child registration similar to auto registration. "The need for proof of ownership of a child is what the new laws will address. Corporations want verifiable documents proving the relationship between employees and partners and their children. The state will convert birth certificates into another version of automobile registration, and the parent will need to be linked to the child by his state issued ID."
The idea caught on in England first where, "The database, which goes live next year, is to contain details of every one of the 11 million children in the country, listing their name, address and gender, as well as contact details for their GP, school and parents and other careers. The record will also include contacts with hospital consultants and other professionals, and could show whether the child has been the subject of a formal assessment on whether he or she needs extra help."
The program in the US will be an extension of the NAIS which will also require premise registration (a verified premise for the child), a premise inspection, and annual child inspection by a doctor or social worker. And to prevent the "fraud" of claiming that one child is another, there must be a marking process.
