Still trying to get more details, though it seems the children are back with their parents.

A woman dropped off a few rolls of film which included a picture of her breastfeeding, and some bath time pictures. The photo clerk noticed and was suspicious.

The summary: A kid is having a hard time in school. Cutting class, showing up late if showing up at all. What is a poor woman to do for her son? THE GOVERNMENT HAS A PLAN! The put a GPS tracker on that kid. Now they know where he is, so he can’t cut school. Isn’t that great?

The kid thinks is the greatest thing. “I used to have to determine the best thing to do, but now I am always monitored so I don’t have to worry. This time last year I wouldn’t have known what a Panopticon was, and now I’m living in one! Thanks Big Brother!” His Mom is thankful too. “Raising my own children is difficult. How can I tell my child to be responsible when I clearly can’t take the time to get my own life together enough to raise children? Thankfully, we have the government eager to place my children inside of their schools to teach them all sorts of wonderful things. With Big Brother, We don’t need any other family!”

The quotes are satire, but for those of you whose line in the sand is GPS tracking of noncriminals- Your table is ready.

I don’t like this. I don’t know why, but I don’t like it. RFID Chipping of kids’ backpacks, sifting through trash to ensure compliance. Middletown is losing it.

Cronin said every gray barrel of refuse dumped into a Waste Management truck is viewed by an onboard camera. If the driver sees a bag other than a yellow one dropped into the hopper, they take note of the address and pass that information along to Cronin, who delivers a flier and tries to speak with the offending homeowner within 24 hours.
