This just feeds into our culture of fear. Violent crime is at the lowest it has been since the 1970's, yet were more terrified of EVERYTHING. I'm a parent, and I don't really care about this article at all. I think it's intelligent to consider what it means to make your entire life digital, but more so from a privacy standpoint. I don't want my life to be acceissible to everyone I've ever known. I am more private than that. However, am I worried about some freak finding my child, no, not at all. There are more important things to worry about in this world, like how the hell to increase the capital gains tax and increase the amount of funding to public education. This is just a ridiculous fear-mongering story.

It's my personal opinion that anyone who geotags pictures of their kids/family/home and makes that information public is a dumbass. There are plenty of terrible people out there just looking for a quick buck. Digital photos are fine, but geotagging their exact location poses a significant privacy risk.
