Sen. Chuck Schumer presents ‘Avonte’s Law,’ which provides tracking devices for autistic children

Posted on July 26, 2014 by pogowasright.org

Stephen Rex Brown reports:

Sen. Chuck Schumer said Friday he has introduced legislation to provide law enforcement around the country with tracking devices that parents can voluntarily place on their autistic child.

And although it may surprise some readers, I think this type of tracking is not only okay, but helpful – as long as it continues to be voluntary on the parents’ part.
