Every 40 seconds in the United States, a child is reported missing or abducted. That translates
to over 2,000 children per day (under 18 years of age) or 800,000 per year.
Of the 800,000 children reported missing annually, approximately 69,000 are abducted.
Out the child victims of ‘stereotypical kidnappings’, 40 percent are killed, 4 percent are
never found, 71 percent are by a stranger and 29 percent are by a slight acquaintance.
In 46 percent of non-family abductions, the child was sexually assaulted.
More than 65 percent of the victims of non-family child abduction are girls.
Of abducted children who are ultimately murdered, 74 percent are dead within three hours
of the abduction
In the UK, a child is reported missing every 3 minutes.
Here is a list of the missing children in the UK; http://www.missingkids.co.uk/missing/?p=0

2. CALHM – (Child and Adolescent Location Hypodermic Microchip)
Why?
In national newspapers, there is often news about young children being abducted,
kidnapped or even lost whilst on holiday or playing outside with friends, with extreme
cases such as Madeline McCann, James Bulger and Shannon Matthews being
publicized by the media. Shannon Matthews was later found, with her mother and
long distance relative being convicted of the abduction. Madeline McCann still
hasn’t be found, and considered dead. Whereas, James Bulger was abducted,
tortured and murdered by two ten-year-old boys. The mission of finding children, in a
potentially global search, is nearly impossible. Trying to find one child in seven
continents, 196 countries, populated with 7 Billion people could take decades, but
why? A microchip surgically implanted into a child’s arm sounds horrendous, however,
it could save a life. A child’s life. Your child’s life.
The GPS Tracker, Also known as CALHM (Child and Adolescent Hypodermic
Microchip) can only be activated by government officials during extreme
circumstances. This product is not compulsory and parents can decide against it. At
the age of 16, the CALHM is then deactivated and taken out of this individual. This will
help tackle crime against children, and if in extreme circumstances something bad
happens, these children can be found.
Many people have suggested that this product should be modified into a bracelet,
but many problems come with this. For example, Bracelets could be taken off by the
kidnapper/abductor, which would obviously mean that the child could not be
tracked. Alternatively, if the child is at a young age, they tend to play with objects,
with the outcome being that the child will take the bracelet off instead.

Production Description
The GPS Tracker can be surgically implanted into ones body, which will be as simple as
a jab. In reality, it is the simplest way of tracking children that have been
kidnapped/abducted/lost. The product can be surgically implanted at the age of
one and removed at the age of 16.
Many people have implied that’s its like 'Big Brother’, as your every movement can be
monitored, but here are a few considerations:
 Its not compulsory, and parents can decide against the CALHM.
 At a young age, why would the Government have any interest in following their
movements, as at the age of 1-16, you are not considered a national threat.
 Parents cannot just sit at home and monitor where their child is. It can only be
activated by Government officials, once the parent has informed them of the
circumstances.
 It is not visible, therefor potential kidnappers cannot remove the CALHM.
 The child's exact location will be accessible as soon as the CALHM is activated.

Functions and Characteristics
In extreme circumstances, the parent will need to contact the government, using the number which was given to the consumer in the
documents. If, for any reason, the number has been lost, contact your GP, as they will have the details.
The product is not visible, as its surgically inserted into the arm of an individual. This is the best possible way in order for the product to
achieve its maximum potential, because if the product is visible, it can be removed by a youngster, or removed by the kidnapper,
therefor the child will not be found as the tracker will give a false location.
There is nothing the individual can do once its been inserted. If ,for any reason, the individual or parent want the GPS Tracker
removed, they will have to contact their GP, they will then contact government officials.
The GPS Tracker is minuscule, and will not irritate the skin.
The GPS Tracker will only be activated once the government/police have been informed of the child's disappearance. Once the GPS
Tracker has been activated, the exact location of the child's location will be given. There will be nothing obvious to a kidnapper that it
has been activated, as it may cause a disturbance in the investigation, I.E murder.
Obvious activations that will not feature in the product:
 Alarm
 Flashing Lights
 Cause the individual to become unstable
The activation will be silent, and only Government officials, and parents will know about the whereabouts of the child. The individual
and kidnapper will be none the wiser.
Its best that if the GPS Tracker is surgically inserted into a child at a young age, that they shouldn't know, this is because in extreme
circumstances, the child may inform the kidnapper of the GPS Tracker, and again will cause a disturbance in the investigation.

Target Audience
As my product’s primary purpose is to protect children, you could say that the target
audience is children aged 1-16. However, you could argue that the product will be
purchased by parents or a legal guardian, so the product is aimed towards them. At
the end of the day, in order for the child to use this product, it has to be please the
parent, fit their criteria, in terms or their child's wellbeing .
In conclusion, the target audience is any parent, whether their young or old. The
product will not be overly expensive, so their isn't a specific socio economic class that
this product leans towards.

6. CALHM – (Child and Adolescent Location Hypodermic Microchip)
Availability and Distribution
The product will not be advertised using multimedia services, like; Television, Radio,
Internet & Social Networking Sites. Once a baby has been born, documents will be
given to parents informing them of the availability of the product.
Its not compulsory, therefor doesn't have to be purchased, and isn't against the law if
ignored.
If the consumer decides to buy the product, the process is simple. Make an
appointment at your local doctor's surgery, your GP will then send paperwork off to
the government giving, them of your details, the government will then send the
product to your local doctors surgery, and then an appointment will be made for the
transaction; at an appropriate date. The whole process will take a month, as checks
will have to be made by both your GP and the government.

7. If its going to be used in different countries, have you
thought about how you are going to track the device if it did
need to be found, as it may need satellite?
CALHM will be a product run by the government. The exact
location, of the intended individual, will be accessed via a
global satellite, which can only be accessed by the nation
where the individual is from.

Considerations

8. If its going to be used in different countries, you may have to
get permission from that said country for it too be used, as
different tracking facilities may infringe on other countries laws?
Due to the nature of the product, countries within the EU will
not have a problem with the product, as it can only be
accessed in extreme circumstances. If countries outside the EU
have a problem with the ability to access an individuals
location during an investigation, then they are potentially
risking someone’s life; which is against ones human rights. What
all countries have to consider, is that they also have the ability
to access the location of an individual within the nation as well.

Considerations

9. You say "government”, but who in the government will control access
when its used?
The likelihood is that the product will be managed and organized by
the Foreign Office. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office, commonly
called the Foreign Office or the FCO is a department of the United
Kingdom Government. It is responsible for protecting and promoting
UK interests worldwide. The FCO have British Embassies located around
the world, with hundreds of government officials working at each one.
Every country has access to a British embassy. British embassies are
available for UK interests, and British nationals living or currently in a
specific country. Obviously, authoritative figures within the specific
country that the individual is in, will be notified of the circumstances,
and they will be part of the investigation, as its of their countries interest
to. It will be a joint investigation between the FCO and the said
country, with FCO having the ability to access the location.

Considerations

10. Who will people contact if there child is missing/kidnapped?
Within the documents given to the individual and their
parents, will be a number that they can call, which will be a
number of the FCO’s. Also, the GP of the individual will can
be contacted if there are any problems. For example, the
parents or individual may want the product removed.

Considerations

11. Will an organization, within the government, have to be set
up to deal with this, if so how much is that going to cost?
No, the FCO will be the major figurehead for the CALHM.
This is because the FCO are responsible for UK interests.
There will be additional costs, for the set up of an extra
satellite, specifically for the CALHM. An exact amount,
however, will be undisclosed.

Product Design
This is an image of a computer
microchip.
This image is just to portray the size
of the CALHM.
The CALHM will be inserted in the
hypodermis layer of the skin, which is
below the dermis (second layer).
The reason behind this is because
the epidermis (first layer) has a
primary purpose to protect us from
infection and a waterproofing
barrier, and the dermis layer consists
of connective tissues that cushions
the body from stress, so to insert
something so unfamiliar may cause
distress to the body.
The hypodermis layer contains 50%
body fat and serves as padding
and insulation for the body, which
indicates that the body would not
react due to the insulation of the
body. Hypodermic piercings are
also becoming increasingly popular,
which again shows how relaxed the
hypodermis is.

SWOT Analysis
Strengths
The product will save lives, and will prevent crime. Criminals will be caught, and less kidnappings will
take place. It will also tackle child slavery and child prostitution, if the product is purchased by the
parents.
Weaknesses
A lot of people will get the interpretation that its like a Big Brother. They will get the impression that
the government will be watching their every movement. What has to be remembered is that the
product is for children, aged 1-16, and the question that you need to ask yourself is: What will the
government want with children aged 1-16? Are they really a threat to our national security? Will the
government waste their time watching children's daily routine? The answer is no.
Opportunities
Child slavery, prostitution and abduction will be prevented. Criminals will be caught, and children
will be found, instantly.
Threats
Families living in poor countries may not have access or the money to purchase they product. A
percentage of each purchase will help provide the GPS Tracker to people living in poorer countries.
Some parents, who are buying the product, may not be happy with this idea.
