GPS Trackers for Children With Autism??? Feed Back Please!

It seems their is a new law that is called 'Avonte's Law' that New York Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer is proposing. This is a proposed Bill that would provide tracking devises for children with autism.

It is being named for Avonte Oquendo, the New York teen who went missing in Oct. and was sadly confirmed dead last week.

Schumer held a press conference Sunday to introduce "Avonte's Law" ahead of the bill's formal introduction on Monday. The legislation would designate $10 million in federal funding for the voluntary program, aimed at locating missing children with autism more quickly.
The GPS is modeled after an existing tracker program for people with Alzheimer's disease, the system Schumer proposed would provide devices that can be worn anywhere: belts, wristwatches, shoelaces.
Schumer say's "Making voluntary tracking devices available will help put parents at ease, and most importantly, help prevent future tragedies like Avonte's," 
Schumer's fix would give the Department of Justice the power to oversee the program, granting money to local police departments and other organizations for both the devices as well as education. The trackers themselves could vary - some may be activated only after the police are contacted and would cost about $80 - $90, plus a few dollars per month for the tracking service.
It seems the advocacy group Autism Speaks is all for this new bill becoming law.
Lisa Goring, an executive at the advocacy group Autism Speaks is saying that "This is a step in the right direction. She does warn that their is no single solution that will fit every child with autism."
Goring went on to say that "The community involvement is an essential piece to all of this - it can't be just a tracker." "First and foremost, families need to be aware of big issues before they become a big issue."

Personally, I do not know what to think of this. Sarah took off a lot when she was younger and yes like any concerned parents we went frantic looking for her. Parents raising children with the diagnosis of autism go through a lot to try and keep their child safe.

GPS devises are better than michrochipping them for sure.
My question is - Why does the government always have to get involved? Schumer proposed this one day after Avonte's funeral with Avonte's mother in the background. Come on people, have some respect!
The line between keeping autistic children safe and not taking away their rights, seem to be getting thinner and thinner.
What do you think about this? I would love some feed back.
