Subject: Plan to give kids ID numbers


Plan to give kids ID numbers ... some will get excited about this
.. it
by no means constitutes "The Mark of The Beast" and as govt has
promoted "privacy" as an issue I'd forget that as well.

As for those pushing it Does the name "Social Development Minister
David Benson-Pope" ring any alarm bells concerning children??

How a number is going to fix their deliberate bad schooling, abust
buy those they themselves place as authorities over childred and child
homicide rate who knows but the digi Id Cards didn't reduce road
kills so I can't see that the good of the people is at heart here.
When politicians suddenly have great concerns for children I lock
mine up.

Plan to give kids ID numbers
20 March 2006

By ANNA CHALMERS

The Government is examining a proposal to have children tagged and
numbered in a central database to stem abuse and failure at school.

Personal details of every New Zealand child, including welfare and
health concerns, would be entered into the database, to be shared
by schools, social agencies and health authorities.

It would be similar to Scottish and British initiatives, with a
single ID number issued for each child, enabling authorities to be alerted
to potential problems.

Social Development Minister David Benson-Pope said he had sought
advice on setting up such a scheme here.

"I am interested in ensuring that children do not fall through the
gaps and that our monitoring of young people is as coordinated as
possible."

Children's Commissioner Cindy Kiro, who travelled to Britain last
year to study the programme, welcomed the move to consider her proposal.
"It's not just about kids who are falling through the gaps, though
obviously they will be a key concern and a major beneficiary, but
it's about every child and making sure they are doing better."

Former Barnardo's UK chief executive Sir Roger Singleton spoke to
Social Development Ministry officials this week about the British system.

He said officials were grappling with privacy issues, including
what information should be stored and who should have access. "(But) in
principle it's something that has to be seriously looked at."

Dr Kiro said that, though there were legitimate concerns about
privacy, these could be overcome.

"The last thing that we want is all of their details shared (on a
database) which may or may not be relevant."

New Zealand's "shocking" child homicide rate - the third-highest of
developed nations - was a key reason such action was needed, she
said.

Investigations by commissioners into child murders, such as those
of half-sisters Saliel Aplin and Olympia Jetson, had blamed a lack of
information-sharing among agencies, she said. "We've got to get to
a point where we stop picking up the pieces when everything goes
wrong and start putting things in place to stop it from happening."

She said getting various agencies to agree to share information was
vital to its success. "If there is glue ear, or major issues about
safety at home, then people do not learn properly. All the little
bits need to come together."

Families Commission chief commissioner Rajen Prasad and New Zealand
Principals Federation president Pat Newman have also supported the
plan.

But Michael Bott, chairman of New Zealand Council for Civil
Liberties, said attempts by the Government to gather information about issues
such as abuse would be an invasion of privacy.

But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the
